[00:30.000 --> 00:37.760]  world of deceit. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
[00:44.160 --> 00:51.600]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 5th of March, year of our Lord, 2026. Well, Trump is
[00:51.600 --> 00:57.200]  the blockchain president, folks. And I'm not talking about only crypto. We know he loves crypto and
[00:57.200 --> 01:04.560]  he's making a lot of money off of it personally. But he is again blocking supply chains, as he did
[01:04.560 --> 01:12.720]  in the lockdown in 2020, as he did last year with tariffs. He's not 3D chess, he's 3C chess, chaos,
[01:12.720 --> 01:19.120]  conflict and collapse. The problems in the Strait of Hormuz are leaving the world in dire straits
[01:19.760 --> 01:26.880]  over not just oil, but over all supplies. Trump has assured the shippers that the U.S. Navy would
[01:26.880 --> 01:33.200]  protect the ships and what could be seen as him not even having confidence in his pronouncements.
[01:34.000 --> 01:38.560]  He offered to insure the ships just in case the Navy couldn't do it. The Navy has now said there's
[01:38.560 --> 01:46.560]  no escorts available. It puts them in literally a very tight spot to maneuver if they get into
[01:46.560 --> 01:53.520]  the Strait of Hormuz and it really increases the risk to the lives and the ships of the Navy.
[01:53.520 --> 01:58.960]  Did he ever think about what he was doing with any of this stuff? But of course, he did think
[01:58.960 --> 02:03.680]  about what he was doing with regulatory capture. We're going to take a look at what's going on with
[02:03.680 --> 02:12.320]  the FDA regulatory capture and especially with glyphosate. So let's begin with the dire straits
[02:12.320 --> 02:18.400]  that he's putting the world in now, yet again. I mean, whether it's the trade policies or the
[02:18.400 --> 02:25.360]  COVID nonsense that he's doing, this always goes back to locking everything down and creating
[02:25.360 --> 02:33.760]  chaos and collapse. So the biggest shipper, Maersk out of Denmark, has now halted cargo bookings
[02:33.760 --> 02:40.480]  across the Gulf. And as we said, it's 20% of the world's oil, but there's a lot of other things
[02:40.480 --> 02:46.400]  that are being impacted by this as well. It's not just the stuff that's going into the Middle East,
[02:46.400 --> 02:52.240]  but it's just transiting that area. So they've suspended cargo booking acceptance across much
[02:52.240 --> 02:57.920]  of the Persian Gulf region. An operational update issued on Tuesday, the Danish container shipping
[02:57.920 --> 03:04.640]  company said it's temporarily suspending cargo bookings in and out of the UAE, Oman, Iraq,
[03:04.640 --> 03:11.680]  Kuwait, Qatar, Buran, and parts of Saudi Arabia until further notice. They're allowing exceptions
[03:11.680 --> 03:17.040]  for critical food medicine and other essential goods, but they're adding that the situation
[03:17.040 --> 03:23.760]  remains, quote, highly volatile. That's a diplomatic way to put it. It's actually hit the fan.
[03:25.280 --> 03:30.480]  The disruption extends far beyond oil. Pharmaceuticals from India are affected.
[03:31.440 --> 03:38.000]  Semiconductors from Asia. Petrochemical products like fertilizer and plastics produced in the
[03:38.000 --> 03:43.600]  Middle East all rely on shipping routes that pass through the region. Cargo ships are now either
[03:43.600 --> 03:51.520]  stuck inside the Persian Gulf or rerouting thousands of miles around Africa, dramatically
[03:51.520 --> 03:58.000]  extending delivery times and, of course, fuel charges. And if this doesn't get cleared up,
[03:58.000 --> 04:04.800]  you're going to see big increases in fuel charges everywhere. This is really causing some major
[04:04.800 --> 04:10.480]  impacts within the global supply chain. Shipping data from Clarkson's Research Institute
[04:11.280 --> 04:18.080]  estimates about 3,200 vessels, roughly 4% of global shipping tonnage, are currently idle
[04:18.080 --> 04:26.960]  inside the Persian Gulf. Great job, Donnie. Epic folly, isn't it? I think that's what
[04:26.960 --> 04:32.000]  Gar and Goldsmith of Liberty Conspiracy called it. But they're going to see some epic fuel
[04:32.000 --> 04:37.120]  charges as well, I think. Another 500 ships are waiting outside the Gulf near ports off the coast
[04:37.120 --> 04:43.520]  of the UAE and Oman. Even relatively small disruptions can cascade through global logistics
[04:43.520 --> 04:51.840]  networks. The supply chain is kind of like a long train with a lot of cars, said the general manager
[04:51.840 --> 05:01.600]  of CARU containers. If one car gets derailed, it can very often have a domino effect to many others.
[05:02.480 --> 05:08.640]  So in other words, as I said, the president blocked the chain, the supply chain. And we
[05:08.640 --> 05:16.000]  saw this happening with the foolish lockdowns that he pushed on everybody in 2020. But this is
[05:16.000 --> 05:22.000]  literally, as he's pointing out, the Trump regime, folks, is literally a train wreck,
[05:23.040 --> 05:28.160]  especially when it comes to supply chains. And it's time for people to get off the Trump train
[05:28.960 --> 05:37.040]  for good, for our own good. Mares said it was also rerouting some cargo already in transit to
[05:37.040 --> 05:42.000]  temporary storage locations within or near the region to prevent bottlenecks at major ports.
[05:42.800 --> 05:48.160]  Remember how this all got bunched up? And when they finally started opening some things,
[05:48.160 --> 05:53.440]  remember how bunched up everything was in LA and other places trying to handle the backlog
[05:53.520 --> 06:00.240]  of all this stuff? Truly is insane. And he keeps doing it. The man doesn't know anything,
[06:01.040 --> 06:10.320]  or he is deliberately an agent of chaos. And I kind of, I kind of lean slightly towards
[06:10.320 --> 06:17.600]  option number two. I think he's pretty stupid, but I think he's also an agent of chaos by design.
[06:18.560 --> 06:23.600]  So for shipments already loaded, but not yet booked, but not yet loaded, the company is urging
[06:23.600 --> 06:28.480]  customers to explore alternative ports or to routes outside the affected ones. Air freight
[06:28.480 --> 06:33.360]  networks are also under pressure because several countries in the region have closed their airspace,
[06:34.240 --> 06:40.800]  forcing airlines to cancel or to reroute flights. Although air freight represents less than 1% of
[06:40.960 --> 06:48.240]  global cargo by volume, it accounts for about 35% of global trade value because high value goods
[06:48.240 --> 06:56.160]  like pharmaceuticals, electronics, and perishables rely on fast delivery. So it is a mess any way you
[06:56.160 --> 07:02.240]  slice this thing. The reduced flight capacity is already pushing up costs. And then if they're
[07:02.240 --> 07:07.200]  going to take detour routes, if they're going to go around the tip of Africa, the longer routes
[07:07.200 --> 07:12.720]  are going to add time as well as fuel charges and higher costs. Shipping companies are increasingly
[07:12.720 --> 07:16.800]  avoiding the Middle East altogether. Maersk and other carriers are rerouting vessels around the
[07:16.800 --> 07:24.960]  Cape of Good Hope and Southern Africa, a detour that can add 10 to 14 days to shipping times
[07:25.520 --> 07:34.480]  and roughly $1 million in additional fuel costs per voyage. And that's with the current fuel cost,
[07:35.360 --> 07:38.640]  because if this persists, the fuel costs are going to go up significantly.
[07:39.600 --> 07:44.640]  They already went up significantly in anticipation. But then the Trump administration comes out and
[07:44.640 --> 07:48.720]  says, no problem, no problem. First of all, we'll protect you with an AV. And then if we can't
[07:48.720 --> 07:56.320]  protect you, we'll insure you. Who gets to pay for that? Well, that gets put on the national credit
[07:56.320 --> 08:03.920]  card that all of us will be paying for at some point in time. And then when you have somebody
[08:03.920 --> 08:10.000]  doesn't want to participate with this madness that he's involved in, like Spain, they don't
[08:10.000 --> 08:16.160]  want to join the war. Well, Trump goes back to his not geopolitics, but his ego politics.
[08:16.800 --> 08:23.120]  And he keeps using this one tool that he seems to think that he's got. He's got one tool hammer,
[08:23.120 --> 08:27.360]  right? He's going to hammer people with the tariffs. And so everybody looks like a nail.
[08:27.840 --> 08:34.000]  And now Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right. We could use
[08:34.000 --> 08:39.440]  their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Yeah, just invade Spain next. But we don't
[08:39.440 --> 08:46.400]  have to. But they were unfriendly. And so I told him we don't want to. Spain has absolutely nothing
[08:46.400 --> 08:52.400]  that we need other than great people. They have great people. We have great people, right? As a
[08:52.400 --> 08:56.480]  matter of fact, it was Jeffrey Sachs who was talking about the Trump administration. So what
[08:56.480 --> 09:02.880]  an epic failure this guy is. And he called him the administration called a gangster administration,
[09:02.880 --> 09:08.320]  which is what I've been saying. I said he's a mafia Don. That's the only thing he understands,
[09:08.320 --> 09:12.880]  because that's the environment in which he grew up. He grew up in New York City with
[09:12.880 --> 09:18.880]  Wheeling and dealing in that center of organized crime at the top of it. Certainly, if you look at
[09:20.320 --> 09:25.120]  the people and movers and shakers there. But yeah, and then literally in the casino industry,
[09:25.120 --> 09:32.160]  this guy lived in the mafia world. And that's the way he interacts with everybody.
[09:33.280 --> 09:37.920]  The specific situation that's happening is pretty unprecedented, they said. But the industry has
[09:37.920 --> 09:47.440]  been dealing with disruption for years now. Yeah. Since Trump did this stuff, right? The lockdowns,
[09:47.440 --> 09:51.920]  the tariffs, now the war, disruption after disruption after disruption.
[09:52.080 --> 09:58.160]  And I guess there's your 3D chess, right? You do the disruption and three times.
[10:00.160 --> 10:06.160]  So, yeah, it's all because of Trump. And you know, Trump really can't make up his mind. The guy is
[10:06.160 --> 10:12.240]  totally two faced. I thought this was a pretty good somebody did with AI, they replaced remember
[10:12.240 --> 10:18.480]  the argument that Zelensky had with Trump in the Oval Office. And what they did was they replaced
[10:19.440 --> 10:24.000]  Zelensky with Donald Trump. So the Trump is arguing with Trump.
[10:24.000 --> 10:33.680]  Right now, not in a very good position gambling with World War Three, gambling with World War
[10:33.680 --> 10:38.720]  Three, the American people to see what's going on. So yeah, what would you say if you could talk to
[10:38.720 --> 10:46.240]  your younger self? Like a year ago or whatever, right? Well, that's where we are right now,
[10:46.640 --> 10:51.360]  the Trump precedents and insurers are keeping ships away from the Strait of Hormuz. They're not
[10:51.360 --> 10:59.360]  buying Trump's guarantees. Just south of the Strait of Hormuz, Marine maps show what looks
[10:59.360 --> 11:04.400]  like a traffic jam, dozens of ships clustered near each other. Beyond the Strait and the Persian
[11:04.400 --> 11:11.040]  Gulf, there's another snarl of maritime collapse, the Strait of Hormuz, which is 20% of the world's
[11:11.040 --> 11:16.000]  oil passes through natural gas. It is now more dangerous than it has been for decades.
[11:16.640 --> 11:19.760]  It's already affected oil prices and global shipping. Now they recovered
[11:20.400 --> 11:25.760]  because of the tweets that Trump put out on his Ministry of Truth Social.
[11:27.280 --> 11:32.880]  He's making promises. You think about it, he's writing promissory notes that he can't cash.
[11:34.320 --> 11:38.320]  But that was all the market needed. You know, this is the way the markets,
[11:38.320 --> 11:44.240]  that's why I can't be an investor in the stock market. Because it's just, I can't get my mindset
[11:44.240 --> 11:48.880]  into the way these people are. It's such a herd mentality. They hear something and it's like,
[11:48.880 --> 11:52.320]  oh, okay, well, that's good. That'd be good if that's true. So let's all pretend that's going
[11:52.320 --> 11:57.280]  to be true. And they reacted to that. And then they keep reacting to it for a little while.
[11:57.280 --> 12:00.480]  And then they start to realize, wait a minute, that's not true. And of course, it couldn't be
[12:00.480 --> 12:04.880]  true from the very beginning. And so then they overreact in the opposite direction.
[12:05.360 --> 12:10.320]  The fools all rush in and then the fools all rush out. And that's the way the market flows.
[12:10.320 --> 12:17.120]  And then you add to that a large level of manipulation that is there to fool the fools.
[12:18.640 --> 12:23.440]  So for global shipping, the Strait of Hormuz, the only route out of the Persian Gulf,
[12:24.320 --> 12:31.120]  is as important as the Suez Canal. And the canal's recent problems offer a taste of what's to come.
[12:31.120 --> 12:37.520]  In November 2023, Houthi rebels attacked the Galaxy leader, a ship traversing the Red Sea,
[12:38.160 --> 12:44.560]  which began a series of attacks. By February 2024, container traffic in the Suez Canal
[12:44.560 --> 12:52.880]  had plunged by 82%. Suez had recently begun to recover, only to be hit now by turbulence
[12:52.880 --> 12:58.480]  from this new war that Trump has put out. Now a similar fate has struck the Strait of Hormuz
[12:59.360 --> 13:07.680]  right on Iran's doorstep. So again, you have a situation like Suez Canal when there's violence
[13:07.680 --> 13:13.600]  and people are avoiding it, it takes a while for the stuff to get back. And then when you're
[13:13.600 --> 13:19.520]  talking about the ports that are there, once traffic starts moving, you've got this massive
[13:19.520 --> 13:24.480]  backlog and bottleneck of stuff as well. Meanwhile, you have the
[13:26.640 --> 13:33.280]  Lloyds has said, the big insurer has said, that they've been told that the US Navy tells
[13:33.280 --> 13:38.800]  industry officials, what industry would that be? Shipping and insurance? Tells industry officials
[13:38.800 --> 13:48.960]  there is no availability for naval escorts. Did Trump talk to anybody before he put this stuff out
[13:48.960 --> 13:56.640]  on Truth? Ministry of Truth social? No. He just makes this stuff up. It's like his reaction to
[13:56.640 --> 14:04.080]  the killings by ICE in Minneapolis and Kristi Noem's reaction to it as well. They don't bother to even
[14:04.080 --> 14:08.720]  look at a video. They don't bother to pick up the phone and say, you know, hey, can we get some
[14:08.720 --> 14:12.640]  escorts out there? Well, Mr. President, if we were to put our ships in the Strait of Hormuz,
[14:13.600 --> 14:18.800]  we would be in dire straits and great, great risk. We can't do that, Mr. President. That would
[14:18.960 --> 14:23.920]  risk the fleet or whatever. Right. He doesn't bother to do that. Instead, he makes this
[14:23.920 --> 14:31.200]  pronouncement. The markets react to it as if that's for real. And now they're finding out that it's
[14:31.200 --> 14:38.480]  not going to be for real. So is the world headed for another energy crisis as Kitco? Well, that's
[14:38.480 --> 14:45.280]  a rhetorical question, of course. And when we look at what happened the last time, this has the
[14:45.280 --> 14:51.760]  potential to be much, much bigger than the OPEC oil embargo, as I pointed out many times. You know,
[14:51.760 --> 14:56.560]  the OPEC oil embargo, when that happened, was directed only at the United States because we
[14:56.560 --> 15:02.320]  had supported Israel. It was not directed at Europe or the rest of the world, but only at
[15:02.320 --> 15:10.160]  the United States. And we only imported 19% of our oil. 20% of the oil today goes through the
[15:10.240 --> 15:15.360]  Strait of Hormuz. If you were to shut that down, that'd be 20% of the global supply,
[15:15.920 --> 15:25.040]  not 19% of the US. And so it is a potential much, much bigger event than the OPEC oil embargo,
[15:25.040 --> 15:32.320]  the Trump oil embargo, we should say, or Trump blocking the chain of supply. Meanwhile,
[15:32.320 --> 15:38.080]  Scott Besson said, don't worry, everything's fine. We got a series of announcements to stabilize oil
[15:38.080 --> 15:45.040]  and we're going to have 15% tariffs kick in next week. So there you go. Problem solved.
[15:45.040 --> 15:50.560]  Tariffs are the answer to everything. Didn't you know that? Especially if you're a tax and spend
[15:50.560 --> 15:57.040]  Democrat. I imagine Scott Besson is as well. He gave money to high profile Democrats in the past.
[15:57.040 --> 16:03.360]  He worked for George Soros. It's funny. You've got the Trump administration, as I pointed out
[16:03.360 --> 16:10.480]  yesterday, the very first thing they did was to punish some law firms because they had connections
[16:10.480 --> 16:15.760]  to Soros or they had a lawyer who, when he was not working at the law firm, but then later went to
[16:15.760 --> 16:22.240]  work for the law firm, had gotten involved in the election disputes on the opposite side of Trump.
[16:22.960 --> 16:28.720]  And so he wants to punish that. I mean, you just have Soros as a client and he wants to put you
[16:28.720 --> 16:35.520]  out of business. You know, these big law firms with hundreds of lawyers. But if you were Soros's
[16:35.520 --> 16:42.720]  partner in terms of breaking the Bank of England, as Scott Besson was, that's fine. I'll make you
[16:42.720 --> 16:48.000]  treasury secretary. Maybe you can break the Bank of America, not Bank of America, but the Federal
[16:48.000 --> 16:53.280]  Reserve. I hope he does. I'd like to see that go. Of course, there's going to be consequences
[16:53.280 --> 16:59.840]  for that as well. But Trump's 15% global tariff will take effect sometime this week,
[16:59.840 --> 17:07.200]  said Besson. And just to remind everybody, it was after Trump lost at the Supreme Court,
[17:07.200 --> 17:16.320]  and rightfully so, then he imposed, in a tariff tantrum, he imposed a 10% tariff on the world.
[17:16.960 --> 17:21.440]  I'll show them. And then within 24 hours, he bumped it up to 15%.
[17:23.040 --> 17:29.920]  The guy is, as I said, taco, but it really should stand for his top. Trump is always capricious
[17:30.640 --> 17:38.560]  and odious. It's always changing orders. I think capricious and odious is probably the best way to,
[17:38.560 --> 17:44.160]  you know, to do it. Is somebody please going to impeach this guy or use the 25th amendment
[17:44.160 --> 17:50.720]  as crazy as he is? Whatever you do, just get him out, please. But Besson confirmed that the new
[17:50.720 --> 17:56.240]  rate would be introduced sometime this week and remain in place for 150 days. It's my strong belief
[17:56.240 --> 18:02.320]  he said the tariff rates will be back to their old rate within five months. Global energy markets,
[18:02.320 --> 18:08.480]  meanwhile, been highly volatile since the Iran War. Well, what do you expect? With crude oil
[18:08.480 --> 18:14.880]  and natural gas prices rocketing on fears of supply disruptions, the president calmed the oil
[18:14.880 --> 18:23.680]  market down on March 3rd with a phony pronouncement on Ministry of Truth social. Again, we're going to
[18:23.680 --> 18:29.440]  escort ships and protect all the ships, and then we'll pay for everything that gets destroyed. And
[18:29.440 --> 18:37.440]  of course, that part will happen. That'll be added to the exploding debt. Trump said the White House
[18:37.440 --> 18:43.360]  would offer naval escorts and guarantee political risk insurance for commercial oil and gas tankers
[18:43.360 --> 18:48.320]  traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. Now notice, it still doesn't do anything about all the rest
[18:48.320 --> 18:53.600]  of the products that are backlogged and blocked going through there. It's still going to be
[18:53.600 --> 19:03.200]  incredibly disruptive, incredibly, not just disruptive, but it's going to be hurting a lot
[19:03.200 --> 19:11.680]  of businesses all up and down the supply chain. It is a train wreck. The Trump train is a train wreck.
[19:13.120 --> 19:21.520]  So again, he can't protect these tankers that are going through the Strait of Hormuz,
[19:23.040 --> 19:26.320]  but he can blow up the deficit again, just like he did with the COVID war,
[19:26.720 --> 19:34.240]  along with the tankers that are going to get blown up. So again, everything that the man does
[19:34.240 --> 19:43.840]  has been stupid and destructive. So when we look at, this thing is stopped here, sorry.
[19:45.360 --> 19:52.240]  Again, the Lloyds of London said there are no escorts available, the cavalry is not coming, folks.
[19:52.240 --> 20:01.040]  You're on your own. So the U.S. benchmark, which is West Texas Intermediate, fell by a half a percent.
[20:01.840 --> 20:08.400]  So in other words, not much of a change. People didn't really buy into what he was saying that
[20:08.400 --> 20:13.840]  heavily. As a matter of fact, if you look at the international benchmark, which is the Brent crude,
[20:14.880 --> 20:20.160]  that remained unchanged. So Trump's pronouncement, don't worry, we'll protect all the ships and we'll
[20:20.720 --> 20:25.920]  protect all the ships and we'll ensure you if we fail at that. Didn't even move the international
[20:25.920 --> 20:33.840]  market price of oil. People don't believe it. I didn't believe it. Oil prices retreated after
[20:33.840 --> 20:39.200]  news that the U.S. will ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, they said, a half a percent,
[20:40.400 --> 20:46.000]  easing fears of a major global surprise shock. Market watchers had warned the risk of oil
[20:46.000 --> 20:51.360]  prices reaching a hundred dollars were very high if the narrow waterway were closed for an
[20:51.360 --> 20:58.240]  extended period. The precious Dow Jones Industrial, remember that was the response. Why are you giving
[20:58.240 --> 21:04.960]  me so much grief about this pedophile network connected to the same people who gave us this war?
[21:05.920 --> 21:15.440]  Mossad and the CIA, the same people who gave us this war, folks, gave us the Epstein pedophile ring.
[21:15.440 --> 21:21.120]  Think about that. I've seen some pictures as actually somebody hung up a sign on a
[21:21.680 --> 21:31.920]  overpass in Boston, said war crimes don't excuse pedophile crimes. But understand both of these
[21:31.920 --> 21:37.040]  things are coming from the same institutions, the Mossad and the CIA. That's what they do.
[21:37.120 --> 21:43.840]  That is their essence. Wars, coups, occultic mind control stuff,
[21:44.640 --> 21:52.400]  and of course coming after children, focusing on them. And so I guess if the Dow Jones Industrial
[21:52.400 --> 21:58.240]  drops below 50,000, can we then investigate this? Well, of course not. She will never
[21:58.240 --> 22:04.480]  investigate this. And she knows where her paycheck is coming from. We're going to take a quick
[22:04.480 --> 22:09.680]  break and we will be right back. By the way, before we go, I got a couple of comments that
[22:09.680 --> 22:15.440]  Travis has given me here. Khan, thank you very much. Appreciate that. Says 10 million Mexicans
[22:15.440 --> 22:21.840]  on welfare in exchange for Stephen Miller isn't a fair deal. I don't think that Mexico will go
[22:21.840 --> 22:31.280]  for it. Well, again, do we have to be on one of these two teams or the other? And it really is
[22:32.000 --> 22:36.080]  the welfare magnet. That is the way that this should be approached.
[22:36.880 --> 22:41.120]  And the welfare magnet should not be there even for legal immigrants. It should be there for
[22:41.120 --> 22:45.920]  American citizens either. But let's just start with the immigrants who want to come here,
[22:45.920 --> 22:50.480]  with the understanding that you're on your own. You want to talk about the Statue of Liberty and
[22:50.480 --> 22:56.240]  the All Asylum experience? Well, that's what it was like. Many people came with nothing but
[22:56.240 --> 23:01.040]  the clothes on their back because they wanted freedom, not free stuff. So let's go back to that.
[23:01.440 --> 23:07.920]  That's typical in most countries. I mean, even in third world countries like Belize, for example,
[23:07.920 --> 23:16.640]  I remember because I was looking at one point in time after Ruby Ridge and Waco in quick succession,
[23:16.640 --> 23:19.920]  I thought, well, they're going to kick it off now. Things are going to get really bad pretty
[23:19.920 --> 23:25.040]  quickly. And they slowed the pace down, but they're still heading in the same direction.
[23:25.040 --> 23:30.480]  Anyway, I was of a mind to try to get at least something else outside of the country.
[23:32.240 --> 23:37.040]  Eventually, I decided against it. I'm just too American. I don't fit in anywhere else.
[23:37.600 --> 23:45.280]  But even if you're going to someplace like Belize, they would require that you have a certain amount
[23:45.280 --> 23:49.920]  of liquid assets and you have to have an income as well and show that because they're not going
[23:49.920 --> 23:54.160]  to put you on welfare in Belize. But we just tell everybody in the world, come here. We'll give you
[23:54.160 --> 23:59.120]  a free education. We'll give you free everything. And if you become a citizen or whatever, but you
[23:59.120 --> 24:03.600]  don't even have to become a citizen. You don't even have to go through any legal process. Just
[24:03.600 --> 24:10.720]  get in here somehow and then everything is free. Kuda Bing has gifted five subs on Rumble. Thank
[24:10.720 --> 24:20.480]  you very much. I appreciate that. We'll be right back, folks.
[25:29.120 --> 25:46.480]  Yeah.
[25:47.600 --> 25:52.880]  Making sense. Common again. You're listening to the David Knight show.
[25:52.880 --> 26:02.080]  APS radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device.
[26:02.080 --> 26:05.520]  Get the APS radio app today and listen wherever you go.
[26:07.520 --> 26:12.320]  Well, one person not worried about the war apparently is War Pete. He is pumped up and
[26:12.320 --> 26:16.800]  excited. I mean, people are dying everywhere. What could be more exciting than that? I just love
[26:16.800 --> 26:26.320]  Lethality, right? Is Lethality Maxer. This guy who says that he's a Christian hates peace. He loves
[26:26.320 --> 26:31.200]  killing. Everything that he does is about killing. I've seen some people on social media say, I've
[26:31.200 --> 26:38.880]  never ever seen a secretary of defense or a secretary of war that talked so much about killing.
[26:39.600 --> 26:44.080]  You know, when you look at this, I remember the quote from Robert E. Lee, as he looked out over
[26:44.080 --> 26:50.160]  the battlefield, he said, it's good that war is so horrible, or we've become too fond of it. In
[26:50.160 --> 26:56.640]  other words, there was this this pull, you know, of the of the game, if you will, right? Moving
[26:56.640 --> 27:01.840]  little soldiers around like you're playing a game and the strategy game, the chess game of the war
[27:01.840 --> 27:09.200]  and that aspect of it. But then the reality came home for him. I mean, he was there up close and
[27:09.200 --> 27:15.680]  personal. He wasn't conducting this war from the other side of the world. He saw this stuff up close.
[27:16.640 --> 27:22.480]  We do war at a distance. And Pete Hexeth has been able to distance himself pretty well against this
[27:22.480 --> 27:28.640]  stuff. So the USC says it's winning decisively against Iran and will achieve complete control
[27:28.640 --> 27:38.880]  of airspace within days. Then what? You said your goal is regime change. You can't change the regime
[27:38.880 --> 27:45.920]  from the air. You really can't. And the other aspect of this that is starting to come home
[27:46.720 --> 27:53.760]  is the attrition of ammunition. And as I point out, before this all happened, Dan Kane, the
[27:53.760 --> 27:57.520]  chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and many others were saying, we don't have
[27:58.240 --> 28:04.560]  enough anti missile missiles for this that we need, and other aspects of that. And so
[28:05.520 --> 28:12.080]  in terms of the missile war and things like that, there is an essentially a depletion race,
[28:12.080 --> 28:19.680]  an arms race on the other side, I guess, an arms build down as both sides are expending ammunition.
[28:19.680 --> 28:24.560]  And nobody really knows because the fog of war, because nobody knows exactly how many
[28:24.560 --> 28:28.000]  the other side has, and they're not going to tell you what they've got either, truthfully.
[28:28.640 --> 28:34.480]  So nobody knows who's going to run out of missiles or interceptors first, except that we need to have
[28:35.360 --> 28:42.640]  two to three times the number of interceptors that they have of missiles. And so that is a factor
[28:42.640 --> 28:46.400]  that everybody's looking at. So how long is this going to go on? If they're saying that it's going
[28:46.400 --> 28:53.760]  to go for four to five weeks, now they're saying eight weeks. As you extend this and run it out,
[28:53.760 --> 29:00.400]  which is the way these things typically go, what that does is start to lower the possibility that
[29:00.400 --> 29:06.160]  you're going to be able to do this in a quick way and win it. Iran's missile capabilities
[29:06.160 --> 29:09.840]  have been drastically diminished in the four days of fighting and the nation's top leadership
[29:09.840 --> 29:19.440]  positions remain vacant, he said. Well, the big advantage that Iran has in all this is that they
[29:19.440 --> 29:26.400]  have spent a very long time in terms of trying to decentralize things. Their missile batteries,
[29:26.400 --> 29:34.560]  for example, operate more or less independently of each other's, whereas we have centralized command
[29:34.560 --> 29:40.240]  and control. Everything that we do is about complexity and it's about centralization.
[29:40.240 --> 29:44.640]  That does not serve us well when it comes to politics. It really does not serve us well when
[29:44.640 --> 29:51.040]  it comes to war either. A decapitation strike is much more damaging to us. For example,
[29:51.680 --> 29:56.800]  there's been reports, and we don't have enough time for this before, Tony joins us, but reports
[29:57.360 --> 30:06.880]  that one of the attacks that was able to get through took out a communications network
[30:07.440 --> 30:14.560]  that was very central to a large region there, central to the operation of these anti-missile
[30:14.560 --> 30:20.800]  systems. And yeah, I've got that footage, actually. Anybody see that footage of Marine
[30:20.800 --> 30:25.840]  protesting the war, only to have his arm broken by a senator and the police? Yeah,
[30:26.960 --> 30:31.920]  as a matter of fact, why don't I put that on and we'll get Tony on a little bit here.
[30:32.480 --> 30:36.400]  The reason for this war, America does not want to fight this war for Israel.
[30:36.400 --> 30:38.080]  Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
[30:41.760 --> 30:47.600]  America does not want to stand in sons and daughters to war for Israel. Your inability
[30:48.240 --> 30:55.280]  to name that shows you have met this as leaders. That's how much they appreciate your service,
[30:55.280 --> 31:01.200]  isn't it? All this stuff with Sean Hannity. Thank you for your service. Now go fight for Israel.
[31:02.000 --> 31:03.280]  Go, go, go, go, go
[31:06.460 --> 31:08.480]  I think a reminder to all here.
[31:09.120 --> 31:19.240]  배 boring
[31:19.440 --> 31:24.240]  No one wants to fight for Israel.
[31:31.920 --> 31:37.360]  Okay, well, we're going to take a break here and we're going to get Tony and let Tony talk
[31:37.360 --> 31:41.320]  about this as well as what's going on with the economy and with the war.
[31:41.320 --> 31:42.320]  We'll be right back.
[32:01.920 --> 32:31.400]  You're listening to the David Knight Show.
[34:01.920 --> 34:18.760]  Well, not joining us just yet is Tony Aarderman, but he will be joining us.
[34:18.760 --> 34:19.760]  Weiswolf Gold.
[34:19.760 --> 34:25.120]  And of course, you can get to him with davidknight.gold and let him know that you came through us.
[34:25.120 --> 34:27.320]  But we're having some problems with audio.
[34:27.320 --> 34:29.720]  We're trying to work out whether it's on his side or our side.
[34:29.720 --> 34:34.880]  But we had Tony set up to go, but we went to talk to him.
[34:34.880 --> 34:35.880]  We couldn't do it.
[34:35.880 --> 34:40.440]  And I think he doesn't know sign language, so we're going to wait until we got audio
[34:40.440 --> 34:41.440]  here.
[34:41.440 --> 34:46.160]  But let's continue talking a little bit about Pete Hegseth.
[34:46.160 --> 34:51.600]  As I look at this guy, he's looking more and more like some delusional Colonel Kurtz out
[34:51.600 --> 34:57.320]  of Apocalypse Now or the original novel Heart of Darkness by Conrad.
[34:57.320 --> 35:02.440]  He is just so into death and destruction.
[35:02.440 --> 35:03.760]  It truly is amazing.
[35:03.760 --> 35:07.820]  More bombers, more fighters are arriving just today, he said.
[35:07.820 --> 35:09.800]  And now complete control of the skies.
[35:09.800 --> 35:17.240]  We'll be using 500 pound, 1000 pound, 2000 pound laser guided precision gravity bombs
[35:17.240 --> 35:21.000]  of which we have nearly unlimited stockpile.
[35:21.000 --> 35:27.240]  And he said the US had used its more exquisite standoff munitions.
[35:27.240 --> 35:36.400]  Yeah, he's talking about quiet death and how wonderful that is, you know, the torpedo strike,
[35:36.400 --> 35:37.400]  sinking a ship.
[35:37.400 --> 35:38.880]  And we have quiet death.
[35:38.880 --> 35:43.660]  We're going to rain death and destruction from above.
[35:43.660 --> 35:47.440]  This guy is a true psychopath.
[35:48.160 --> 35:55.400]  their leaders and their military leaders flying over Tehran, flying over Iran, flying over
[35:55.400 --> 36:05.000]  their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders looking up and seeing only US and
[36:05.000 --> 36:14.500]  Israeli air power every minute of every day until we decide it's over and Iran will be
[36:14.500 --> 36:16.940]  able to do nothing about it.
[36:16.940 --> 36:25.060]  B-2s, B-52s, B-1s, Predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, death
[36:25.060 --> 36:30.340]  and destruction from the sky all day long.
[36:30.340 --> 36:31.340]  He likes that.
[36:31.340 --> 36:32.740]  That's his purpose.
[36:32.740 --> 36:38.220]  Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly.
[36:38.220 --> 36:43.820]  Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not
[36:43.820 --> 36:45.660]  shackle it.
[36:45.660 --> 36:51.860]  This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight.
[36:51.860 --> 36:53.860]  We are punching them while they're down.
[36:53.860 --> 36:55.820]  Yeah, we've seen you do that before.
[36:55.820 --> 36:56.820]  How it should be.
[36:56.820 --> 36:58.620]  Seen him do that before.
[36:58.620 --> 37:00.260]  Yeah, you punch people when they're down.
[37:00.260 --> 37:04.700]  When you blow up a ship and you don't have the authority to do that or the reason or
[37:04.700 --> 37:07.820]  the morality or the legality, no authorization for that.
[37:07.820 --> 37:12.500]  When you go back and you murder those people, that's punching them when they're down.
[37:12.500 --> 37:17.380]  This guy is, you know, he talks about mission, you know, we're always worried about mission
[37:17.380 --> 37:18.380]  creep and everything.
[37:18.380 --> 37:21.300]  How about creeps on a mission?
[37:21.300 --> 37:23.260]  That's what we're seeing with this guy.
[37:23.260 --> 37:26.940]  He doesn't understand what his mission is.
[37:26.940 --> 37:31.500]  His mission is that's why he wants to change it to war, right?
[37:31.500 --> 37:33.860]  He doesn't want to defend.
[37:33.860 --> 37:39.860]  A just military would be there to defend the United States from attack and to try to
[37:39.860 --> 37:43.580]  neutralize the attacker if that were to happen.
[37:43.580 --> 37:52.100]  Instead, he sees his mission as creating wars and killing people, and he revels in that.
[37:52.100 --> 37:54.100]  It's disgusting to see him do this.
[37:54.100 --> 37:59.500]  I put on Twitter, I said, we're the people, they have a church plant from Doug Wilson's
[37:59.500 --> 38:06.580]  church in Idaho that has been put in D.C., and it's like, well, you got Pete Hegseth
[38:06.580 --> 38:12.260]  coming there, and this is what you see frequently with celebrities who go to a particular church
[38:12.260 --> 38:13.260]  or whatever.
[38:13.260 --> 38:19.820]  They don't usually get the kind of care and assistance and help that they really need.
[38:19.820 --> 38:20.820]  Everybody defers to them.
[38:20.820 --> 38:26.060]  As a matter of fact, there was a recent convert, I think it was Jelly Roll, I saw his wife
[38:26.220 --> 38:32.740]  who had been a Christian and he was not, and she helped him, and then she was wise enough
[38:32.740 --> 38:35.620]  to say, all these people are looking up to us because we're celebrities.
[38:35.620 --> 38:41.380]  I mean, he's had this horrible life in the past, and she said, you need to understand,
[38:41.380 --> 38:43.220]  we're just baby Christians, right?
[38:43.220 --> 38:45.900]  We don't really have this all worked out.
[38:45.900 --> 38:52.260]  And people are so deferential, it might be to the pastor, or it might be to a celebrity,
[38:52.260 --> 38:53.740]  especially to a celebrity.
[38:53.740 --> 38:58.020]  Or if you're going to go to Washington, D.C., and you got the Secretary of Defense coming
[38:58.020 --> 39:02.100]  to your church, well, we don't want to drive this guy away.
[39:02.100 --> 39:07.820]  Let's not criticize anything that he does, even when he needs criticism.
[39:07.820 --> 39:12.020]  The wounds of a friend are faithful, right?
[39:12.020 --> 39:17.740]  And so they need to tell him this, because this guy is getting so caught up in killing
[39:17.740 --> 39:18.780]  people.
[39:18.780 --> 39:21.180]  That is not following Christ.
[39:21.180 --> 39:26.140]  I got to say that when I see what Pete Hegseth is doing, when I see what Huckabee is doing
[39:26.140 --> 39:30.740]  and these other people, we have to speak out against this and say, that's not us.
[39:30.740 --> 39:36.300]  In the same way that when I see what the federal government is doing, I have to say, that is
[39:36.300 --> 39:38.420]  not us and that is not the Constitution.
[39:38.420 --> 39:43.180]  These people don't follow Christ or the Bible anymore than they follow the Constitution
[39:43.180 --> 39:45.260]  or even their own rules.
[39:45.260 --> 39:49.180]  Pete Hegseth violated the Pentagon's own rules for war.
[39:49.180 --> 39:57.740]  He violated the Geneva Convention, which was put up to try to minimize the brutality of
[39:57.740 --> 39:58.740]  war.
[39:58.740 --> 40:00.220]  So we still don't have Tony yet?
[40:00.220 --> 40:02.460]  Okay, we're real close?
[40:02.460 --> 40:03.460]  Okay.
[40:03.460 --> 40:05.020]  Well, he's getting closer and closer.
[40:05.020 --> 40:10.940]  But meanwhile, he was glorying also about the fact that they sunk a ship for the torpedo.
[40:10.940 --> 40:14.340]  And he says, quiet, deaf.
[40:14.340 --> 40:16.780]  This guy is a psychopath.
[40:16.780 --> 40:25.220]  What was not quiet was this kind of death, where they're bombing nine million civilians
[40:25.220 --> 40:27.500]  in Tehran.
[40:27.500 --> 40:31.980]  That's not such quiet death.
[40:31.980 --> 40:38.420]  And what it reminds me of, again, as I said before, they used to be that in countries
[40:38.420 --> 40:45.700]  that were based on Christian morality, we tried to spare civilian life.
[40:45.700 --> 40:49.420]  And that's why they would have the kinds of rules of engagement and they would wear uniforms
[40:49.420 --> 40:50.420]  and that type of thing.
[40:50.420 --> 40:55.940]  And it was considered to be a war crime if you targeted civilians.
[40:55.940 --> 41:02.380]  And so, you would get very harsh punishment, perhaps execution after the war was ended
[41:02.380 --> 41:05.540]  if you did that type of thing and rightfully so.
[41:05.540 --> 41:10.420]  Unfortunately, the Germans, the Nazis decided they would target London.
[41:10.420 --> 41:14.180]  And then we turned around and became the monsters that we fought.
[41:14.180 --> 41:16.540]  We did that to Dresden.
[41:16.540 --> 41:20.660]  And then we did it to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
[41:20.660 --> 41:25.500]  And probably the destruction in Dresden was worse than the two nuclear bombs.
[41:25.500 --> 41:32.220]  And of course, the first bomb that they did, Nagasaki, ground zero, was the only Christian
[41:32.220 --> 41:35.540]  church in the city.
[41:35.540 --> 41:41.380]  And hardly any Christians in Japan anyway, only about 1%.
[41:41.380 --> 41:42.900]  So let's vaporize them.
[41:42.900 --> 41:44.740]  I think we got Tony Ray to come on now.
[41:44.740 --> 41:45.740]  Tony, are you there?
[41:45.740 --> 41:47.180]  I am here, sir.
[41:47.180 --> 41:48.180]  Great.
[41:48.180 --> 41:49.180]  Great to have you on.
[41:49.180 --> 41:50.180]  Thank you.
[41:50.180 --> 41:51.180]  Sorry about the problems that we had.
[41:51.180 --> 41:52.180]  Glad we got that together.
[41:52.180 --> 41:53.380]  What do you make of all this stuff?
[41:53.380 --> 41:59.340]  I mean, looking at the economy, I mean, you know, the stock market has been reassured
[41:59.340 --> 42:03.340]  by Trump saying they're going to protect the ships and then insure them as well.
[42:03.340 --> 42:05.740]  Now the Navy has said, we can't do that.
[42:05.740 --> 42:08.780]  We can't operate in that straight.
[42:08.780 --> 42:12.500]  Well, these are wars of choice.
[42:13.100 --> 42:15.700]  First and foremost, we don't have to do these things.
[42:15.700 --> 42:21.660]  We do them because war is the health of the state, and fiat currency is the lifeblood
[42:21.660 --> 42:28.180]  of that unconstitutional and moral activity of the deep state.
[42:28.180 --> 42:34.260]  And we are inside of the death throes of the military industrial complex lurching out as
[42:34.260 --> 42:39.140]  the American empire starts to rapidly decline.
[42:39.140 --> 42:44.540]  One of the headlines that I always seem to find these headlines that should be front
[42:44.540 --> 42:52.460]  page everywhere, but gold surpassed the dollars, the world's reserve asset held by central
[42:52.460 --> 42:57.900]  banks because of the price of gold, massive gold accumulation by the central banks over
[42:57.900 --> 43:03.740]  the past three years, coupled with the price increases has now surpassed the dollar.
[43:03.740 --> 43:08.140]  And I had to go verify that because it's not on any major network.
[43:08.140 --> 43:10.020]  No, we're not going to talk about that.
[43:10.020 --> 43:16.300]  As a matter of fact, what we saw was over the weekend, Bitcoin started going up really
[43:16.300 --> 43:17.300]  quickly.
[43:17.300 --> 43:19.260]  I get these notifications on CashApp.
[43:19.260 --> 43:20.580]  It just went up by 5%.
[43:20.580 --> 43:24.300]  Then later that day, it went up by 5%.
[43:24.300 --> 43:26.940]  So I was seeing it jump, making all these different jumps.
[43:26.940 --> 43:30.060]  And I thought, well, I don't know what gold is doing, but of course the markets are kind
[43:30.060 --> 43:32.860]  of closed over the weekend for the most part.
[43:32.980 --> 43:37.900]  But it did go up significantly at the beginning of the week, and then it started to move back
[43:37.900 --> 43:44.220]  down a little bit, and still up from where it was a week or two ago, but not as much
[43:44.220 --> 43:46.180]  as I thought it would be up.
[43:46.180 --> 43:48.460]  And so I guess the question is, what is going on?
[43:48.460 --> 43:50.380]  What is the mindset of these people?
[43:50.380 --> 43:55.580]  As you pointed out, war is the lifeblood of the state, and the rather the fiat currency,
[43:55.580 --> 44:01.100]  war is the health of the state or whatever, and the currency is the lifeblood.
[44:01.100 --> 44:05.780]  So maybe that's the mentality, that war is somehow good for the dollar.
[44:05.780 --> 44:09.580]  I just don't see that, because I don't see the war is good for the empire.
[44:09.580 --> 44:12.540]  Well, I think in the short term, that's what you're seeing.
[44:12.540 --> 44:22.180]  I think there's a bit of euphoria on war profiteering, defense stocks, activity, money printing.
[44:22.180 --> 44:28.820]  Whenever there's war, which is, I guess, always now a perpetual war for perpetual peace, if
[44:28.820 --> 44:33.300]  we have that, then there's going to be central bank currency injections, and we're going
[44:33.300 --> 44:34.300]  to continue to do that.
[44:34.300 --> 44:35.300]  That's going to ramp up.
[44:35.300 --> 44:36.300]  So I think some of the short-term euphoria-
[44:36.300 --> 44:38.620]  The stock market likes it when they print money.
[44:38.620 --> 44:39.620]  Stock market likes that.
[44:39.620 --> 44:41.060]  Oh, it loves it.
[44:41.060 --> 44:42.060]  It feeds on it.
[44:42.060 --> 44:44.620]  It's not about making profit anymore.
[44:44.620 --> 44:49.500]  It's about creating currency and your proximity to the central bank.
[44:49.500 --> 44:56.460]  So yeah, when this kicked off, I think there was, over the weekend, you saw gold from low
[44:57.140 --> 45:02.260]  to 53, 5,400 at some point, and then it's come back down somewhat.
[45:02.260 --> 45:04.540]  There was some profit taking on Monday.
[45:04.540 --> 45:08.620]  No, but this is short-term.
[45:08.620 --> 45:11.060]  What you really need to watch are a couple of things.
[45:11.060 --> 45:14.500]  One, the central bank holdings, that's surpassing the dollar.
[45:14.500 --> 45:21.740]  And then the price of crude oil, the price of crude oil jumped like, it's from 61 at
[45:21.740 --> 45:28.660]  the beginning of February to $77 for a barrel of crude, and I think that's only going to
[45:28.660 --> 45:29.660]  increase.
[45:29.660 --> 45:32.860]  I think it got up to 85 at some point, and I think it's come back down.
[45:32.860 --> 45:34.580]  That's where it is today.
[45:34.580 --> 45:39.780]  The futures went up to past 80, and it's down at 77 as of this morning.
[45:39.780 --> 45:45.700]  I'm just watching that very closely, because that's going to determine a lot here in the
[45:45.700 --> 45:48.540]  next couple of months, and I think all bets are off.
[45:48.540 --> 45:54.300]  It's tough to say exactly what's going to happen with pricing, but this has never really
[45:54.300 --> 45:56.380]  happened before.
[45:56.380 --> 46:03.100]  We just launch a major war without any real lead-up or any real warning.
[46:03.100 --> 46:04.100]  There's no debate.
[46:04.100 --> 46:05.100]  There's no...
[46:05.100 --> 46:06.100]  There's no leadership.
[46:06.100 --> 46:07.100]  There's no leadership.
[46:07.100 --> 46:09.900]  It's like this stuff, and it's like, well, I don't know if we've got enough ammunition
[46:09.900 --> 46:11.340]  for this war.
[46:11.340 --> 46:15.700]  And I don't really care what happens to the shipping markets when they close off the Strait
[46:15.700 --> 46:16.700]  of Hormuz.
[46:16.700 --> 46:21.100]  I'm reacting to this stuff, and it's like, didn't you guys think about this before?
[46:21.100 --> 46:22.980]  Evidently not.
[46:22.980 --> 46:30.140]  And that's why when I looked at it, I'm surprised that gold hasn't gone sky high, because I'm
[46:30.140 --> 46:34.860]  looking at what happened with the OPEC oil embargo.
[46:34.860 --> 46:40.140]  And we all know what that kicked off, this massive inflation, actually stagflation, and
[46:40.140 --> 46:42.700]  gold went through the ceiling with that eventually.
[46:42.700 --> 46:46.660]  But I guess I'm getting ahead of things.
[46:47.620 --> 46:48.620]  You're thinking too much.
[46:48.620 --> 46:49.620]  I'm looking at the trend down the line.
[46:49.620 --> 46:51.420]  It's like, okay, I don't see how they're going to...
[46:51.420 --> 46:57.260]  I haven't seen the US have the wisdom to get in and get out on any of these wars.
[46:57.260 --> 47:00.700]  The kidnapping of Maduro really wasn't a war.
[47:00.700 --> 47:05.900]  And so I don't really know what they're going to do if they want to do regime change, what's
[47:05.900 --> 47:06.900]  that going to look like?
[47:06.900 --> 47:12.660]  And of course, Venezuela was just the US government's operation.
[47:12.660 --> 47:13.900]  This is Israel.
[47:13.900 --> 47:15.460]  We're doing this for Israel.
[47:15.460 --> 47:19.500]  And they want to eradicate Iran, just like they want to eradicate Gaza.
[47:19.500 --> 47:22.900]  So I don't see this as being a short term thing.
[47:22.900 --> 47:28.460]  And if it goes long term, it's going to go in the way of the OPEC oil embargo in terms
[47:28.460 --> 47:30.500]  of just the economics of it.
[47:30.500 --> 47:34.060]  And so that's why I'm looking at this and thinking, why aren't people buying gold here?
[47:34.060 --> 47:36.060]  I don't understand.
[47:36.060 --> 47:42.700]  Well, you can see some of the other corresponding moves that the BRICS nations are making.
[47:42.860 --> 47:47.020]  As a matter of fact, I talked about several times, I talked about how significant it was
[47:47.020 --> 47:54.100]  that China is trying and I think succeeding and becoming the world's gold hub.
[47:54.100 --> 47:59.580]  I mean, they're the largest producer of gold and hold, I mean, not necessarily holder of
[47:59.580 --> 48:00.580]  gold on paper.
[48:00.580 --> 48:04.540]  We don't know exactly how much gold they have, but they've got the Shanghai exchange.
[48:04.540 --> 48:10.620]  But more importantly, they're pushing this Hong Kong, not only exchange, but gold hold
[48:10.620 --> 48:16.140]  holding a place to store it as for international hub.
[48:16.140 --> 48:20.420]  And they've got they want to get like 2000 metric tons over there.
[48:20.420 --> 48:27.020]  They're going for this is the long term thinking that the Chinese are doing, that others are
[48:27.020 --> 48:28.020]  doing.
[48:28.020 --> 48:29.940]  And we're just brought up a great point.
[48:29.940 --> 48:31.740]  There's no leadership.
[48:31.740 --> 48:37.420]  What are besides fighting, you know, on behalf of Israel, what are we doing?
[48:37.420 --> 48:38.860]  And I don't think there is a plan.
[48:38.860 --> 48:44.540]  I think it's chaos for chaos sake that at this point, it's there's really there is no
[48:44.540 --> 48:45.540]  rhyme or reason.
[48:45.540 --> 48:52.260]  I mean, what I think you brought up the fact that when they just assassinating these Iranian
[48:52.260 --> 48:58.780]  leaders, they're taking out moderates or people that they might succeed, right, and that would
[48:58.780 --> 49:01.940]  replace them that they could deal with, they're just killing.
[49:01.940 --> 49:07.980]  And first of all, you got a guy named Pete, I mean, he's just coming out and he's killing
[49:08.020 --> 49:10.620]  people and getting excited about it.
[49:10.620 --> 49:12.460]  It really is truly disgusting.
[49:12.460 --> 49:19.580]  And so as somebody who's who served and has served in combat, I can't imagine myself speaking
[49:19.580 --> 49:20.580]  that way.
[49:20.580 --> 49:21.580]  Yeah.
[49:21.580 --> 49:24.860]  You know, when you had this like this, especially I wouldn't if I would have resigned, I would
[49:24.860 --> 49:28.820]  have never I would never taken people to war over this.
[49:28.820 --> 49:35.380]  But but I definitely that the the hubris here, David is staggering.
[49:35.700 --> 49:41.980]  I mean, if you're betting, don't bet on this like this is, you know, this is going to end
[49:41.980 --> 49:44.020]  badly.
[49:44.020 --> 49:47.620]  History does not bode well for these type of moves.
[49:47.620 --> 49:52.860]  And it's really sad to watch because, you know, we're we're being drugged along with
[49:52.860 --> 49:53.860]  it.
[49:53.860 --> 49:59.140]  And, you know, kind of the sum of all fears, like stuff that you and I've been talking
[49:59.220 --> 50:07.540]  about for years, and especially your criticism of Trump, all confirmed, like this is completely
[50:07.540 --> 50:14.020]  like it, not that it hasn't been vindicated before, but this is so over the top, like
[50:14.020 --> 50:20.660]  there's no room anymore to try to justify or 4D chess this out or intentions or anything
[50:20.660 --> 50:26.900]  like this is clearly the bifurcation point that you can this separates everything.
[50:27.540 --> 50:29.780]  It's been happening for a long time.
[50:29.780 --> 50:34.980]  But this this I think this was one of the and you can see it in the realm of influencers
[50:34.980 --> 50:38.100]  and others that are jumping off this ship.
[50:38.100 --> 50:43.540]  And they don't care, which is probably the tell that something else is afoot because
[50:43.540 --> 50:48.340]  I don't think the administration or the people in power care about their polling numbers
[50:48.340 --> 50:50.740]  or midterms or anything else.
[50:50.740 --> 50:52.100]  I think we're way beyond that.
[50:52.500 --> 50:57.460]  They've got an agenda in mind, and it doesn't include prosperity for the American people.
[50:57.460 --> 50:58.020]  That's right.
[50:58.020 --> 51:00.660]  It includes artificial intelligence and a surveillance state.
[51:00.660 --> 51:02.580]  And they have cleared the decks for that.
[51:03.380 --> 51:10.340]  It truly is the the agenda that you couldn't do a better job if you were trying to prepare
[51:10.340 --> 51:15.380]  the way for the technocracy and the global governance and the surveillance police state
[51:15.380 --> 51:18.260]  that they've been desiring to have all along.
[51:18.260 --> 51:21.460]  And he's just the guy to do it because he puts so many people to sleep.
[51:22.260 --> 51:23.300]  It's just amazing.
[51:23.300 --> 51:28.820]  The people who should be the ones who are opposing this are so connected to him personally.
[51:28.820 --> 51:30.260]  They don't want to see it.
[51:30.260 --> 51:31.700]  And we still see a lot of that.
[51:31.700 --> 51:37.540]  And of course, when you've got somebody like Trump and he does these things and he gets
[51:37.540 --> 51:43.380]  away with it and nobody calls him on it and nobody opposes him on it, you have one or
[51:43.380 --> 51:45.460]  two people that will stand up here and there.
[51:45.460 --> 51:49.620]  And then he hammers them down and it just creates more fear for the other people to
[51:49.620 --> 51:50.820]  not stand up.
[51:50.820 --> 51:54.980]  And so when that happens, he's obviously going to just get worse over time, which is
[51:54.980 --> 51:55.620]  what we're seeing.
[51:55.620 --> 51:59.460]  It's a feedback loop of narcissism.
[51:59.460 --> 52:01.540]  It's an echo chamber and it's a cult.
[52:01.540 --> 52:05.460]  You get around it, just he gets told what he wants to hear.
[52:05.460 --> 52:06.420]  If not, you're out.
[52:07.300 --> 52:08.580]  So there is no dissent.
[52:08.580 --> 52:13.220]  I don't know why anybody in their right mind would want to be a part of anything that he's
[52:13.220 --> 52:13.540]  doing.
[52:15.060 --> 52:16.580]  Clearly, there's a track record, too.
[52:16.580 --> 52:18.100]  It does not go well for you.
[52:18.180 --> 52:24.260]  Now, there's the case to be made, the political grifting that's happened.
[52:24.260 --> 52:28.100]  There's lots of money that's been made, but that's all short term.
[52:28.100 --> 52:31.540]  I mean, you've got to live with the after effects of everything that's happened.
[52:31.540 --> 52:39.140]  And I just think that the U.S., not only foreign policy, but the economic policy is absolutely
[52:39.140 --> 52:40.020]  disastrous.
[52:40.820 --> 52:42.740]  We have no strategy.
[52:43.620 --> 52:47.620]  The strategy is that there is none other than chaos.
[52:47.940 --> 52:49.140]  Just kill everybody.
[52:49.140 --> 52:50.660]  Just got to kill everybody.
[52:51.380 --> 52:52.340]  And you're talking about this.
[52:52.340 --> 52:52.740]  I don't know.
[52:52.740 --> 52:54.020]  He's been in the military.
[52:54.020 --> 52:56.340]  Did he have any actual combat experience?
[52:56.340 --> 52:56.980]  I didn't look that.
[52:56.980 --> 52:57.780]  I should have looked that up.
[52:58.740 --> 53:02.340]  From what I understand, he was in Afghanistan, maybe Iraq.
[53:03.780 --> 53:06.260]  This has been over a year since I looked at his background.
[53:06.260 --> 53:09.060]  So I know that he does have some combat experience.
[53:09.060 --> 53:12.740]  Well, he was there, but did he actually have any combat experience when he was actually
[53:12.740 --> 53:13.620]  in a fight or something?
[53:13.620 --> 53:13.940]  Right.
[53:13.940 --> 53:20.580]  Well, that's always a question, Mark, because you can be in country, but you can literally
[53:20.580 --> 53:23.220]  never leave the base and watch DVDs all day if you really...
[53:23.860 --> 53:25.060]  Sometimes that happens.
[53:25.060 --> 53:27.460]  So you can be in country.
[53:28.500 --> 53:29.380]  Same thing with the...
[53:29.380 --> 53:32.740]  Just because you're in the USO doesn't mean that you were in combat.
[53:32.740 --> 53:34.900]  So if you go support the troops.
[53:34.900 --> 53:41.220]  But not to take anything away from what he did, but I find that his language is absolutely
[53:41.220 --> 53:47.140]  unworthy of the Christian heritage that we have in this country.
[53:47.140 --> 53:47.460]  That's right.
[53:47.460 --> 53:48.100]  And you're talking about...
[53:48.100 --> 53:50.500]  Or the military heritage either, right?
[53:50.500 --> 53:55.700]  I mean, the role of the military is not to just go out and kill everybody that you can,
[53:55.700 --> 53:59.620]  including civilians, which is what gets him so excited.
[53:59.620 --> 54:04.900]  It's just absolutely insane, but especially not as a Christian, but even the military,
[54:04.900 --> 54:07.380]  that's not their mission to kill everybody.
[54:08.020 --> 54:08.580]  No.
[54:08.580 --> 54:13.860]  And then can you imagine somebody like Eisenhower saying something like this?
[54:13.860 --> 54:14.100]  No.
[54:14.100 --> 54:15.780]  I mean, or even MacArthur.
[54:15.780 --> 54:20.020]  I mean, I've read several biographies on Douglas MacArthur, and you talk about
[54:20.020 --> 54:24.180]  probably the greatest generals since Napoleon or Alexander the Great.
[54:24.180 --> 54:26.260]  And when we just happened, he happened to be American.
[54:27.060 --> 54:30.260]  That kind of language really never came out of his mouth.
[54:30.260 --> 54:34.820]  I mean, this is something new and I think is probably
[54:34.820 --> 54:39.460]  indicative of a declining culture, declining empire.
[54:39.460 --> 54:44.180]  And what makes it so much more dangerous, David, and what bothers me, like when this
[54:44.180 --> 54:51.460]  kicked off and we knew it was coming eventually, but I just thought maybe we would go back to June
[54:51.460 --> 54:57.860]  of last year, just by the way, the strike on Iran last year was the anniversary is on June 22nd.
[54:57.860 --> 55:02.660]  It was the anniversary of Operation Barbarossa when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.
[55:02.660 --> 55:05.700]  And I wondered why they, if they didn't look that up.
[55:05.700 --> 55:11.220]  But that was when we had to take out all of their nuclear facilities.
[55:11.220 --> 55:12.660]  But I thought it was even more-
[55:12.660 --> 55:14.740]  That didn't work out too well for the Nazis either, but-
[55:15.380 --> 55:16.020]  Right.
[55:16.020 --> 55:16.900]  Well, that's the whole point.
[55:16.900 --> 55:23.220]  Like the Blitzkrieg and preventive war, whatever, the first strike never worked out.
[55:23.860 --> 55:26.660]  It hasn't been like the momentum fades and everything else.
[55:26.660 --> 55:30.980]  And you don't have this just war mentality.
[55:31.380 --> 55:32.820]  Certainly not a defensive war.
[55:37.060 --> 55:38.820]  It didn't work out for the South either.
[55:38.820 --> 55:42.420]  And then here, Lincoln wanted the South to fire the first shots.
[55:43.220 --> 55:48.180]  It's just always imperative that for some reason, that's the way that it balances out
[55:48.180 --> 55:50.500]  whenever there's a first strike.
[55:50.500 --> 55:51.060]  That's right.
[55:51.060 --> 55:54.660]  Shelby Foote did a great job in his history of the Civil War,
[55:55.220 --> 55:57.940]  in terms of showing how Lincoln maneuvered that to happen.
[55:58.820 --> 56:00.340]  Are you talking about Shelby Foote?
[56:00.340 --> 56:01.140]  Shelby Foote, yeah.
[56:01.140 --> 56:04.340]  How Lincoln maneuvered the Fort Sumter thing to happen.
[56:05.540 --> 56:05.940]  He did.
[56:05.940 --> 56:06.980]  It goaded him into it.
[56:06.980 --> 56:11.700]  And I think they had like a, it was an old, like a really elderly gentleman fire the first shot.
[56:11.700 --> 56:14.260]  It was just somebody, it was a firebrand, you know, that-
[56:14.260 --> 56:15.380]  Edmund Ruffin, yeah.
[56:16.180 --> 56:19.300]  He had been around, I think he was a supporter of John C. Calhoun.
[56:19.300 --> 56:22.420]  And, you know, that was going on for a while.
[56:22.420 --> 56:24.100]  It was just building underneath the surface.
[56:24.100 --> 56:26.260]  Lincoln wanted to strike.
[56:26.340 --> 56:28.500]  And so that set the tone.
[56:28.500 --> 56:33.460]  And what's really even more disturbing, you know, I think as time goes on and we'll see,
[56:34.100 --> 56:34.900]  they had a deal.
[56:35.860 --> 56:37.940]  What that's worth, but suppose that they had a deal
[56:38.980 --> 56:42.020]  where Iran would have never been able to obtain a bomb.
[56:42.020 --> 56:44.020]  There wasn't, there would be no stockpiles.
[56:44.020 --> 56:46.660]  You know, and again, I don't know, how do you verify that?
[56:46.660 --> 56:50.580]  You could use the UN, you could use the IAEA, all that stuff.
[56:52.580 --> 56:53.380]  But it was close.
[56:53.940 --> 56:57.780]  People, how many thousands have died already?
[56:57.780 --> 56:58.500]  That's right.
[56:58.500 --> 57:01.380]  That's the other part of this, Tony, is the treachery.
[57:01.380 --> 57:03.140]  We've seen that now multiple times.
[57:03.140 --> 57:07.540]  That is a tactic of Israel, you know, to pull people on negotiations
[57:07.540 --> 57:10.180]  and then sneak attack them when you've got their confidence.
[57:10.180 --> 57:15.700]  And to me, that is a very unproductive way to go.
[57:15.700 --> 57:18.180]  How many times can you pull that on people, right?
[57:18.180 --> 57:20.340]  You pull them in and say, hey, let's, we can work this out.
[57:20.340 --> 57:23.860]  And then you do a rug pull on them and a sneak attack,
[57:23.860 --> 57:26.900]  and you show how treacherous you are with dealing with people.
[57:26.900 --> 57:32.100]  I just don't see, I don't see that works out to our long-term advantage.
[57:32.740 --> 57:33.860]  Well, it certainly doesn't.
[57:34.740 --> 57:39.060]  And I think the good news about any of this is the high water mark for
[57:40.100 --> 57:43.540]  Israeli influence on our politics and on our government.
[57:44.260 --> 57:47.140]  The way that they've carried out over the past many decades
[57:48.020 --> 57:51.540]  is waning, declining, and becoming so apparent.
[57:52.980 --> 57:56.260]  They're obviously doing it in the face of people right now,
[57:56.260 --> 58:02.580]  but the repetitive re-election of people based off of this belief system.
[58:02.580 --> 58:08.660]  Matter of fact, one of the other silver linings to the last few days
[58:08.660 --> 58:11.700]  has been Dan Crenshaw in the second congressional district,
[58:12.500 --> 58:14.500]  primary doubt, which I didn't see come.
[58:14.500 --> 58:16.020]  He's an approved veteran.
[58:16.820 --> 58:18.740]  Because he really loves war.
[58:18.740 --> 58:21.220]  But he finally, it's hard to do.
[58:21.780 --> 58:24.500]  I mean, you have to really work at it to lose,
[58:24.500 --> 58:30.260]  like once you've been elected in a primary in a Republican district in East Texas,
[58:30.260 --> 58:32.740]  you've got to really be bad at your job.
[58:32.740 --> 58:34.420]  Well, he's working at it pretty hard.
[58:34.420 --> 58:36.820]  Yeah, he was that bad.
[58:37.460 --> 58:41.380]  So I think that's some of the things that are happening.
[58:41.460 --> 58:46.100]  And I like to study culture and trends.
[58:46.740 --> 58:50.740]  And I see that they reached their high water mark a while ago.
[58:50.740 --> 58:55.060]  And this may be why they're just in a rush to get it done.
[58:55.860 --> 59:01.060]  It may not be about anything else other than they see the writing on the wall.
[59:01.060 --> 59:03.780]  Yeah, well, they've got probably the best president
[59:03.780 --> 59:06.100]  they're going to have to help them right now.
[59:06.980 --> 59:11.540]  Netanyahu has been his entire career as wanted to destroy Iran.
[59:11.540 --> 59:12.980]  So here's his chance to do it.
[59:12.980 --> 59:17.780]  The thing I think is interesting is how when Trump gave us the history of all this stuff,
[59:17.780 --> 59:20.820]  he goes back 47 years and he says, for 47 years, they've hated us
[59:20.820 --> 59:23.700]  and they've been chanting death to America and all the rest of stuff.
[59:23.700 --> 59:29.220]  It's like, well, 73 years ago, you gave them the reason to hate America.
[59:29.220 --> 59:33.220]  And it is one of the first and one of the prime examples
[59:33.220 --> 59:36.500]  of the folly of American regime change is Iran.
[59:37.140 --> 59:38.740]  And here we are trying to do it again.
[59:39.460 --> 59:43.220]  It's just, it's almost funny except for the number of people that are being killed.
[59:43.940 --> 59:47.940]  And it is just, it is truly disgusting.
[59:47.940 --> 59:51.940]  And I think people are starting to get disgusted with this in a large,
[59:52.740 --> 59:56.340]  a lot of MAGA people, Karen was looking on her Facebook
[59:56.340 --> 59:59.460]  and there was a poll there and comments.
[01:00:00.100 --> 01:00:02.820]  And there were a lot of people, I voted for this and all this other kind of stuff.
[01:00:03.300 --> 01:00:07.220]  You're one of the few people voted for this because that's not what Trump campaigned on.
[01:00:08.420 --> 01:00:12.660]  If you voted for Trump, you were voting for what he said he was going to do.
[01:00:12.660 --> 01:00:15.620]  And he said he was going to do just the opposite of this.
[01:00:15.620 --> 01:00:18.180]  So I don't know how you can come back and say you voted for this.
[01:00:18.180 --> 01:00:21.940]  It's just that you voted for Trump and that's what we get with Trump.
[01:00:23.300 --> 01:00:26.420]  Yeah, we were lied to, we were deceived.
[01:00:27.220 --> 01:00:29.700]  I mean, at some level you did it to yourself.
[01:00:29.700 --> 01:00:33.220]  If you're talking about the second administration.
[01:00:33.220 --> 01:00:35.140]  But I mean, that was the whole point, right?
[01:00:35.140 --> 01:00:37.780]  It was to stop World War III, to get out of these wars,
[01:00:37.780 --> 01:00:40.100]  bring the troops home, bring the jobs back.
[01:00:40.100 --> 01:00:42.260]  Let's create a stable economy.
[01:00:42.820 --> 01:00:46.020]  I mean, none of that was real, right?
[01:00:46.020 --> 01:00:53.140]  This is all on behalf of the neocons and the neocons absorbed
[01:00:53.140 --> 01:00:55.780]  whatever America first was supposed to be.
[01:00:57.060 --> 01:00:59.380]  That consumption is complete at this point.
[01:01:00.020 --> 01:01:01.060]  Really sad to watch.
[01:01:02.260 --> 01:01:05.380]  Well, of course, we've seen Charlie Kirk's organization.
[01:01:05.380 --> 01:01:10.340]  He came out really strongly against Lindsey Graham and Israel's war with Iran
[01:01:10.980 --> 01:01:12.340]  just before he died.
[01:01:12.340 --> 01:01:13.940]  Now they're cheering it on.
[01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:18.660]  This has been a complete 180 there after he's gone.
[01:01:18.660 --> 01:01:19.700]  That's probably the point.
[01:01:22.900 --> 01:01:24.420]  He would have been a real problem.
[01:01:25.380 --> 01:01:29.460]  The more I've learned about where he was in the last few months of his life,
[01:01:30.260 --> 01:01:33.220]  he would have been a real problem in this scenario.
[01:01:34.820 --> 01:01:40.180]  There's a darkness that surrounds, I think, a real evil that surrounds
[01:01:41.060 --> 01:01:44.900]  this foreign policy and what we're doing on behalf of Israel.
[01:01:46.260 --> 01:01:48.260]  I want to be completely separated from it.
[01:01:48.260 --> 01:01:50.500]  I've just said publicly many, I don't support this.
[01:01:51.700 --> 01:01:52.900]  I'm not going to get behind this.
[01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:54.500]  There's a darkness to it.
[01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:55.860]  I think it's bad for your soul.
[01:01:56.580 --> 01:01:57.460]  I agree.
[01:01:57.460 --> 01:01:59.140]  You look at it, it's Mossad and the CIA.
[01:01:59.140 --> 01:02:01.380]  The same people gave us the Epstein network.
[01:02:03.140 --> 01:02:03.620]  I don't know.
[01:02:03.620 --> 01:02:06.580]  It looks to me like they're kind of staying the course.
[01:02:06.580 --> 01:02:10.500]  There are some things in America where people do stick to their principles.
[01:02:10.500 --> 01:02:14.100]  I guess you could say that the CIA and Mossad and these people
[01:02:14.100 --> 01:02:15.060]  do stick to their principles.
[01:02:15.060 --> 01:02:16.100]  They're consistent.
[01:02:16.100 --> 01:02:18.580]  Operation Epstein Fury is in full effect.
[01:02:20.420 --> 01:02:22.180]  That's a good way to describe it.
[01:02:22.180 --> 01:02:25.700]  Operation Epstein Fury, that's absolutely true.
[01:02:25.700 --> 01:02:29.220]  Well, it's been a real chaotic week in gold and silver, I'm sure.
[01:02:32.340 --> 01:02:34.260]  What do you see happening here in the future?
[01:02:34.260 --> 01:02:35.620]  I mean, things have consolidated.
[01:02:35.620 --> 01:02:40.260]  It hasn't been as chaotic, for example, as Bitcoin has been.
[01:02:40.260 --> 01:02:42.100]  But what do you see happening?
[01:02:42.100 --> 01:02:43.380]  What's going on with silver, by the way?
[01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:44.900]  I've been following what gold is doing.
[01:02:44.900 --> 01:02:45.940]  I've been following silver.
[01:02:46.980 --> 01:02:50.660]  Well, I think prices have somewhat stayed.
[01:02:50.660 --> 01:02:51.860]  I don't want to use the question.
[01:02:51.860 --> 01:02:53.060]  I use the word stabilized.
[01:02:54.020 --> 01:02:58.900]  They've leveled off a little bit, but they still whips off violently.
[01:02:58.900 --> 01:03:01.140]  So things aren't back to normal as a deal.
[01:03:01.140 --> 01:03:04.020]  I don't know if they're ever going back to the way that they were.
[01:03:04.820 --> 01:03:08.740]  I hope they do for the public's sake because dealing with
[01:03:09.620 --> 01:03:13.060]  the movement of metals has become increasingly difficult with prices.
[01:03:13.060 --> 01:03:15.940]  But we're doing, as a matter of fact, we put out a letter yesterday,
[01:03:15.940 --> 01:03:19.060]  an email to all the Wolfpack members and just saying,
[01:03:19.620 --> 01:03:20.980]  we're doing the best we can.
[01:03:21.140 --> 01:03:25.060]  A lot of the products that used to be available or weeks out,
[01:03:25.060 --> 01:03:28.500]  we can't get them or we can't source like fractional silver.
[01:03:28.500 --> 01:03:34.100]  Although I did find a place yesterday and did my first deal with them out of New Hampshire.
[01:03:34.980 --> 01:03:40.900]  It's a libertarian minded, liberty minded person who's got a small mint.
[01:03:40.900 --> 01:03:42.740]  So we're going to be dealing with them directly.
[01:03:42.740 --> 01:03:46.900]  But I put out an email just saying, we're doing the best we can.
[01:03:46.900 --> 01:03:47.860]  We appreciate everybody.
[01:03:47.860 --> 01:03:51.700]  We're using fractional 90% silver for a lot of the packages.
[01:03:51.700 --> 01:03:56.740]  And we do think that in the long term, 90% constitutional,
[01:03:56.740 --> 01:04:00.660]  also known as junk silver is actually one of the best bets you can make.
[01:04:01.860 --> 01:04:04.900]  Although it just got hammered in the last three or four months
[01:04:04.900 --> 01:04:06.820]  because everybody's trying to sell it once.
[01:04:07.700 --> 01:04:10.580]  So there was a premium drop and all that.
[01:04:10.580 --> 01:04:16.420]  But I think just given the fact that we're watching in real time,
[01:04:16.420 --> 01:04:20.260]  like the supplanting of the dollar, like de-dollarization is not only real,
[01:04:20.820 --> 01:04:22.020]  it's almost complete.
[01:04:23.780 --> 01:04:27.780]  With the world reserve holdings surpassing the dollar again,
[01:04:27.780 --> 01:04:29.300]  should have been major headlines.
[01:04:30.660 --> 01:04:32.900]  And you mentioned Bitcoin earlier, David.
[01:04:33.540 --> 01:04:38.820]  One of the reasons that the price started to head North again
[01:04:38.820 --> 01:04:42.900]  is because of the Iranian regime being toppled.
[01:04:43.060 --> 01:04:48.420]  I believe their currency is the real, is that correct?
[01:04:48.420 --> 01:04:50.980]  I think so, something like that.
[01:04:50.980 --> 01:04:51.780]  Something like that?
[01:04:52.900 --> 01:04:54.180]  It's just plummeting.
[01:04:54.180 --> 01:04:58.500]  Same thing when we invaded Iraq, but these things weren't available then.
[01:04:58.500 --> 01:05:02.420]  I mean, gold, I think when I was part of the Iraq invasion,
[01:05:03.220 --> 01:05:06.740]  gold was about $250 an ounce, something like that.
[01:05:07.700 --> 01:05:13.300]  Crude oil was about $50, maybe $40 an hour barrel.
[01:05:13.300 --> 01:05:17.780]  So a lot of price changes since then, but the Iraqi dinar,
[01:05:17.780 --> 01:05:20.900]  I saw it go to zero like overnight.
[01:05:20.900 --> 01:05:23.940]  People were running out of the banks with boxes of Iraqi dinar
[01:05:23.940 --> 01:05:26.500]  with Saddam Hussein's face on them.
[01:05:26.500 --> 01:05:30.580]  So you think maybe people in Iran are taking whatever money they can
[01:05:30.580 --> 01:05:33.700]  and they're able to get it into crypto,
[01:05:33.700 --> 01:05:36.180]  they can't necessarily get it into gold, right?
[01:05:36.260 --> 01:05:37.700]  Right, because of the movement of it.
[01:05:37.700 --> 01:05:40.580]  It's like, right, and you're trying to cross borders.
[01:05:40.580 --> 01:05:45.860]  That's where Bitcoin, at least in its current form,
[01:05:45.860 --> 01:05:49.860]  could be very beneficial because it's borderless.
[01:05:49.860 --> 01:05:52.100]  You could put everything into a Bitcoin wallet
[01:05:52.100 --> 01:05:56.660]  as long as you know your seed phrase, that's completely unhackable
[01:05:56.660 --> 01:06:00.180]  and you could move across borders easily.
[01:06:00.180 --> 01:06:03.060]  And then you've still got your, at least somewhat,
[01:06:03.140 --> 01:06:05.620]  you've got to retain your value.
[01:06:06.260 --> 01:06:08.820]  So I think that'll continue to push Bitcoin.
[01:06:11.220 --> 01:06:14.980]  We had an all-time high of Bitcoin back in October of 2025
[01:06:14.980 --> 01:06:18.580]  and it's cut that in half.
[01:06:18.580 --> 01:06:21.220]  But I think there's a lot of accumulation of other things going on.
[01:06:21.220 --> 01:06:25.700]  This certainly has been an uptick in Bitcoin holdings and Bitcoin usage.
[01:06:25.700 --> 01:06:26.980]  So we'll see about that.
[01:06:27.540 --> 01:06:33.860]  Gold and silver tangible hard assets are still supreme, in my opinion,
[01:06:34.580 --> 01:06:39.460]  through that, but the advantages of being able to have that digitized
[01:06:39.460 --> 01:06:42.100]  and walk across the borders is also important.
[01:06:42.100 --> 01:06:44.260]  Yeah, and of course, you know, we're talking about shipping.
[01:06:45.060 --> 01:06:46.660]  It's not just oil and natural gas,
[01:06:46.660 --> 01:06:48.580]  but it's a lot of things that are being impacted by it.
[01:06:48.580 --> 01:06:50.660]  And that includes gold and, you know,
[01:06:50.660 --> 01:06:53.380]  when they're trying to move that around as well.
[01:06:53.460 --> 01:06:56.900]  I saw an article talking about how that had been a hitch
[01:06:56.900 --> 01:06:58.660]  for some of the large buyers.
[01:06:58.660 --> 01:07:01.380]  They couldn't get the gold physically transferred
[01:07:01.380 --> 01:07:04.660]  because of the shipping issues that are happening right now.
[01:07:05.780 --> 01:07:09.780]  Yeah, I think a combination of all three of them are very important.
[01:07:09.780 --> 01:07:11.460]  I mean, I diversify.
[01:07:11.460 --> 01:07:13.860]  That's why we're wise wolf gold, silver, Bitcoin.
[01:07:14.900 --> 01:07:16.180]  I think that in the future,
[01:07:16.180 --> 01:07:19.140]  these are three things that keep you outside of the system.
[01:07:19.140 --> 01:07:22.900]  If you retain ownership without counterparty risk,
[01:07:22.900 --> 01:07:23.940]  it's very important.
[01:07:23.940 --> 01:07:29.940]  I noticed one of the other things that happened was that Venezuela,
[01:07:30.500 --> 01:07:34.500]  their state-owned mining company, the state-owned mining company,
[01:07:35.060 --> 01:07:37.060]  just signed a deal to supply the U.S.
[01:07:37.060 --> 01:07:40.580]  with a thousand kilograms of gold for delivery.
[01:07:41.860 --> 01:07:43.220]  So interesting, right?
[01:07:44.660 --> 01:07:46.660]  There's some things that are happening.
[01:07:46.660 --> 01:07:48.260]  You know, we're playing the commodity board.
[01:07:48.260 --> 01:07:49.860]  As a matter of fact, the U.S. military
[01:07:50.500 --> 01:07:53.700]  is going to some mining companies for rare earth minerals
[01:07:53.700 --> 01:07:55.460]  and things that would keep the war effort.
[01:07:56.100 --> 01:08:00.180]  We've outsourced so much of this over the past 50 plus years
[01:08:00.180 --> 01:08:01.540]  because of free trade.
[01:08:01.540 --> 01:08:03.540]  Yeah, I saw some articles about Intimidate,
[01:08:03.540 --> 01:08:08.660]  a big crush on that to try to get that for military supplies and things.
[01:08:09.940 --> 01:08:13.940]  I remember there was a U.S. senator back in the 90s
[01:08:13.940 --> 01:08:17.140]  that it doesn't matter if you make computer chips or potato chips.
[01:08:17.140 --> 01:08:18.180]  We'll just get it, you know?
[01:08:18.820 --> 01:08:21.060]  And unfortunately, that's not how the world works.
[01:08:21.780 --> 01:08:24.580]  We have to source, especially for national defense.
[01:08:24.580 --> 01:08:26.180]  Now, this isn't national defense.
[01:08:26.180 --> 01:08:30.260]  This is national aggression or whatever you want to call it.
[01:08:30.260 --> 01:08:33.060]  But that's what we're funding and that's what we're supplying.
[01:08:33.060 --> 01:08:37.620]  So a lot of the policies that we made in the 80s and 90s
[01:08:37.620 --> 01:08:38.740]  are coming home to roost.
[01:08:40.100 --> 01:08:42.580]  I think they're scrambling at this point.
[01:08:42.580 --> 01:08:44.100]  Yeah, absolutely.
[01:08:44.100 --> 01:08:46.500]  Well, it is a crazy time.
[01:08:46.500 --> 01:08:50.260]  And as they say, the Chinese curse may live in interesting times.
[01:08:50.260 --> 01:08:52.180]  Certainly, we live in interesting times
[01:08:52.180 --> 01:08:55.860]  and it is a real juggling act for what you have to do.
[01:08:56.580 --> 01:08:59.860]  I don't envy you your job at all, but you've been able to do it.
[01:08:59.860 --> 01:09:01.780]  And so congratulations for that.
[01:09:01.780 --> 01:09:04.740]  And as you point out, the Wolfpack thing is very integral to that.
[01:09:04.740 --> 01:09:10.260]  And it's one way that people can gradually start to get into something
[01:09:10.260 --> 01:09:11.620]  that's going to be a little bit more stable
[01:09:14.180 --> 01:09:16.180]  for their particular economic situation.
[01:09:16.580 --> 01:09:19.380]  In a time of great instability and volatility
[01:09:19.380 --> 01:09:21.540]  that is going to only increase, I'm afraid.
[01:09:21.540 --> 01:09:22.660]  And we've been talking about this.
[01:09:22.660 --> 01:09:24.660]  We're getting closer and closer to the fourth turning.
[01:09:24.660 --> 01:09:26.100]  They're going to step on the gas.
[01:09:26.100 --> 01:09:30.020]  And I think Trump just put us in another...
[01:09:30.660 --> 01:09:32.740]  He just shifted it to a higher gear right now.
[01:09:33.300 --> 01:09:35.380]  And I think we're going to continue to see
[01:09:35.380 --> 01:09:37.700]  this kind of volatility and chaos happening.
[01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:41.540]  So that's one thing that people can do to prepare.
[01:09:41.540 --> 01:09:43.060]  I think it's gold and silver.
[01:09:43.060 --> 01:09:44.260]  It's very important.
[01:09:44.260 --> 01:09:45.860]  Thank you so much, Tony, for coming on.
[01:09:45.860 --> 01:09:47.460]  Always great talking to you.
[01:09:47.460 --> 01:09:50.500]  And again, people can go to David Knight, Die Gold,
[01:09:50.500 --> 01:09:52.100]  and I'll take you to Tony.
[01:09:52.100 --> 01:09:53.700]  And you can get in touch with them
[01:09:53.700 --> 01:09:55.380]  and they can help you with whatever you need to do.
[01:09:56.740 --> 01:09:58.100]  Appreciate you, David.
[01:09:58.100 --> 01:10:00.740]  And we'll see how this looks next week.
[01:10:02.580 --> 01:10:05.300]  I try not to make price predictions too often,
[01:10:05.300 --> 01:10:08.660]  but things don't look good for the current system.
[01:10:08.660 --> 01:10:11.780]  So yeah, just doing what you can do.
[01:10:11.860 --> 01:10:14.100]  And this is why we built my company.
[01:10:14.100 --> 01:10:17.140]  The way it's designed is for everyday people.
[01:10:17.940 --> 01:10:19.620]  And I just saw it might be...
[01:10:19.620 --> 01:10:21.060]  Your audience might be interested.
[01:10:21.060 --> 01:10:25.220]  Tucker Carlson just put out an expose on gold companies.
[01:10:25.220 --> 01:10:26.660]  It doesn't look good for them.
[01:10:26.660 --> 01:10:29.860]  And I'm so glad that I've run my business the way I have
[01:10:29.860 --> 01:10:32.500]  because people have gotten really defrauded,
[01:10:32.500 --> 01:10:36.020]  the misled, way overpaying,
[01:10:36.020 --> 01:10:38.980]  especially when the gold IRAs and other things.
[01:10:38.980 --> 01:10:40.660]  I'm really proud of what we've done.
[01:10:40.660 --> 01:10:42.100]  We've made people a lot of money.
[01:10:43.780 --> 01:10:46.580]  Instead of them realizing that their savings aren't there,
[01:10:46.580 --> 01:10:48.820]  they paid some crazy premium.
[01:10:48.820 --> 01:10:52.740]  So thank you for allowing me to sponsor your show.
[01:10:52.740 --> 01:10:55.220]  We're proud to do it, especially in these times.
[01:10:55.220 --> 01:10:56.660]  Well, I really like what you do.
[01:10:56.660 --> 01:10:58.420]  I didn't see that expose.
[01:10:58.420 --> 01:11:02.580]  I usually get my Tucker Carlson stuff secondhand.
[01:11:03.860 --> 01:11:06.500]  Did he respond to the cutter thing when he said that...
[01:11:07.140 --> 01:11:09.460]  When he was talking about what happened
[01:11:09.460 --> 01:11:12.180]  and the government and cutter just said,
[01:11:12.180 --> 01:11:13.140]  no, that's not true.
[01:11:13.140 --> 01:11:13.780]  Did you see that?
[01:11:13.780 --> 01:11:15.220]  I talked about that yesterday.
[01:11:15.220 --> 01:11:16.900]  No, I need to get into that.
[01:11:18.020 --> 01:11:22.100]  I've had so much going on with just following the supply chains
[01:11:22.100 --> 01:11:24.260]  that's eating up most of my bandwidth.
[01:11:24.260 --> 01:11:24.980]  I bet it is.
[01:11:26.580 --> 01:11:27.860]  He had said something about...
[01:11:29.140 --> 01:11:30.020]  I talked about it yesterday.
[01:11:30.020 --> 01:11:33.620]  I think it was something about assassination
[01:11:33.860 --> 01:11:37.860]  or something that Israeli agents were doing in Qatar.
[01:11:37.860 --> 01:11:38.340]  Yes.
[01:11:38.340 --> 01:11:40.420]  And they said, no, that didn't happen.
[01:11:40.980 --> 01:11:42.900]  And so it's kind of interesting.
[01:11:42.900 --> 01:11:46.820]  I said before, I said, Tucker can...
[01:11:46.820 --> 01:11:49.540]  I like his position on a lot of things that he's taking now,
[01:11:49.540 --> 01:11:52.500]  but I don't trust him because I don't trust what he did
[01:11:52.500 --> 01:11:53.300]  during the pandemic.
[01:11:53.300 --> 01:11:55.140]  I don't trust what he did during 9-11
[01:11:55.140 --> 01:11:56.820]  and the aftermath of 9-11.
[01:11:56.820 --> 01:12:00.660]  He did a lot to shut down any consideration
[01:12:00.660 --> 01:12:02.180]  of what had happened with 9-11.
[01:12:03.060 --> 01:12:07.940]  He's got a long way to go to earn my trust on these issues.
[01:12:09.300 --> 01:12:12.100]  So what was he saying about the gold different companies?
[01:12:12.100 --> 01:12:12.900]  They just...
[01:12:12.900 --> 01:12:14.100]  Price gouging and things like that.
[01:12:15.620 --> 01:12:18.180]  So he had something that set off a red flag for him.
[01:12:18.180 --> 01:12:18.660]  People were...
[01:12:19.300 --> 01:12:20.740]  Gold companies were approaching him
[01:12:20.740 --> 01:12:26.260]  and one offered him like $20 million for a year sponsorship.
[01:12:26.260 --> 01:12:30.020]  And he said, how do you make that much money selling commodities?
[01:12:30.580 --> 01:12:34.660]  And so what you find out is that...
[01:12:35.700 --> 01:12:37.620]  And I've seen this happen time and time again
[01:12:37.620 --> 01:12:39.540]  with people who've contacted me.
[01:12:39.540 --> 01:12:42.420]  A lot of the times they have these call centers
[01:12:42.420 --> 01:12:44.740]  on these big gold companies and IRAs
[01:12:44.740 --> 01:12:47.140]  and they will put you in...
[01:12:47.140 --> 01:12:49.460]  Although it is approved IRA metal,
[01:12:49.460 --> 01:12:55.060]  but you'll be paying for MS-70 graded American Eagles
[01:12:55.060 --> 01:12:58.740]  that are rare proof sets, stuff like that.
[01:12:58.740 --> 01:13:00.100]  So you increase the price.
[01:13:00.100 --> 01:13:03.460]  Let's say gold is $5,000 an ounce.
[01:13:03.460 --> 01:13:06.740]  Well, you might pay an extra $800
[01:13:08.100 --> 01:13:09.460]  for the privilege of owning that.
[01:13:09.460 --> 01:13:13.460]  Well, it starts adding up to dollar for dollar
[01:13:13.460 --> 01:13:14.580]  when you cash it in.
[01:13:15.220 --> 01:13:18.900]  It doesn't translate into your savings
[01:13:18.900 --> 01:13:20.660]  because the way that the IRAs go
[01:13:21.540 --> 01:13:24.500]  is that the way that they calculate the values,
[01:13:24.500 --> 01:13:26.900]  they say this is how many ounces of metals you have.
[01:13:27.860 --> 01:13:30.420]  And this is the spot price, period.
[01:13:30.420 --> 01:13:33.060]  It doesn't matter about the premiums or the types of coins.
[01:13:33.060 --> 01:13:34.820]  That's why I try to...
[01:13:34.820 --> 01:13:37.380]  I actually get away from the premiums as much as possible
[01:13:37.380 --> 01:13:38.980]  and say, well, I usually put people
[01:13:38.980 --> 01:13:40.660]  in something like Canadian Maple Leafs.
[01:13:40.660 --> 01:13:42.420]  You get four nine gold, which is...
[01:13:42.420 --> 01:13:44.820]  I mean, not that that matters that much,
[01:13:44.820 --> 01:13:46.900]  but there's no coinage whatsoever.
[01:13:46.900 --> 01:13:48.180]  It's approved for IRAs
[01:13:48.180 --> 01:13:50.180]  and the premiums are generally acceptable
[01:13:50.900 --> 01:13:52.660]  and they're good looking coins.
[01:13:52.660 --> 01:13:53.780]  So you can do that.
[01:13:53.780 --> 01:13:55.220]  And it's also North American,
[01:13:55.220 --> 01:13:57.060]  which has always been my justification.
[01:13:57.620 --> 01:14:02.260]  But these reports that are coming out
[01:14:02.260 --> 01:14:06.340]  and people are, a lot of these call center gold places,
[01:14:07.220 --> 01:14:08.500]  that's what they did.
[01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:09.620]  That's how they made money
[01:14:09.620 --> 01:14:12.260]  and they had a massive marketing budgets
[01:14:12.260 --> 01:14:15.940]  and we're just, I'm as big as I want to be.
[01:14:15.940 --> 01:14:17.620]  I think we can serve people big or small
[01:14:17.620 --> 01:14:19.060]  and do any type of transaction
[01:14:19.060 --> 01:14:21.380]  and I can source just about anything,
[01:14:21.380 --> 01:14:22.980]  but I don't have any...
[01:14:23.700 --> 01:14:25.860]  A lot of the folks that have used me over the years
[01:14:25.860 --> 01:14:28.980]  have done really well because we just look at retail
[01:14:28.980 --> 01:14:31.620]  and say, I don't think there's another company
[01:14:31.620 --> 01:14:32.500]  out there like me either,
[01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:33.860]  because we tell people
[01:14:33.860 --> 01:14:36.420]  what the competition's selling stuff for.
[01:14:38.180 --> 01:14:39.460]  That's the first thing I do.
[01:14:39.460 --> 01:14:40.820]  So I'm glad that that...
[01:14:41.540 --> 01:14:43.140]  It's probably why, David, the way...
[01:14:43.140 --> 01:14:45.460]  It's probably why I'm not secretary of defense, okay?
[01:14:46.180 --> 01:14:48.900]  It's probably, I don't have any power.
[01:14:49.460 --> 01:14:50.340]  That's right.
[01:14:50.340 --> 01:14:51.540]  Do you have a...
[01:14:51.540 --> 01:14:54.020]  You got your show following this show today?
[01:14:54.020 --> 01:14:54.420]  Yes, sir.
[01:14:54.420 --> 01:14:58.900]  Arterburn Radio Transmission will be live on the X,
[01:14:59.700 --> 01:15:03.380]  Tony Arterburn and America Unplugged channel over on Rumble.
[01:15:03.380 --> 01:15:04.180]  That's great.
[01:15:04.180 --> 01:15:05.460]  Do come and join us.
[01:15:05.460 --> 01:15:06.340]  That's great.
[01:15:06.340 --> 01:15:07.940]  Well, thank you for joining us, Tony.
[01:15:07.940 --> 01:15:09.300]  Always great to have you on.
[01:15:09.300 --> 01:15:11.060]  We're gonna take a quick break, folks,
[01:15:11.060 --> 01:15:13.060]  and we will be right back.
[01:15:13.060 --> 01:15:13.700]  Stay with us.
[01:15:14.740 --> 01:15:15.860]  Let's see, where am I?
[01:15:15.860 --> 01:15:16.420]  Right here.
[01:15:16.420 --> 01:15:16.900]  There we go.
[01:15:18.900 --> 01:15:21.940]  And boys, let it grow where all can see.
[01:15:21.940 --> 01:15:23.700]  Feed it with our devotion.
[01:15:23.700 --> 01:15:26.100]  Boys, call it the liberty tree.
[01:15:26.100 --> 01:15:30.340]  It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree.
[01:15:31.060 --> 01:15:35.860]  And we are the sons, yes, we are the sons, the sons of liberty.
[01:16:18.900 --> 01:16:24.420]  Liberty.
[01:16:24.420 --> 01:16:25.780]  It's your move.
[01:16:27.460 --> 01:16:29.860]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:16:34.740 --> 01:16:35.220]  Elvis.
[01:16:35.220 --> 01:16:36.900]  Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
[01:16:37.620 --> 01:16:39.700]  And the sweet sounds of Motown.
[01:16:39.700 --> 01:16:43.300]  Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com.
[01:16:43.300 --> 01:16:50.100]  Well, Mark Levin, like Lindsey Graham and many others, is real excited about this.
[01:16:50.660 --> 01:16:52.260]  This war is exactly what he wanted.
[01:16:52.260 --> 01:16:55.700]  He says, U.S. soldiers that have been killed in Trump's war with Iran
[01:16:55.700 --> 01:16:58.740]  have died for, quote, a great cause.
[01:16:59.780 --> 01:17:00.100]  Really.
[01:17:01.060 --> 01:17:02.340]  That's what he said.
[01:17:02.340 --> 01:17:05.460]  And he actually said, push back against this idea
[01:17:05.460 --> 01:17:08.420]  that Trump was promising that he would not go to war.
[01:17:08.420 --> 01:17:12.580]  He said, the idea that Donald Trump campaigned on allowing our enemies
[01:17:12.580 --> 01:17:16.180]  to build nuclear weapons and threatened to wipe us off the face of the earth,
[01:17:16.180 --> 01:17:18.820]  that he shouldn't intervene in that, that he shouldn't confront that,
[01:17:18.820 --> 01:17:22.580]  that somehow violates what MAGA stands for, is so idiotic, so stupid.
[01:17:23.140 --> 01:17:27.380]  And yet they push this agenda, that he's broken his campaign promises.
[01:17:28.180 --> 01:17:33.460]  Well, he had to do that, Levin, because everybody was on to the nonsense
[01:17:33.460 --> 01:17:35.700]  and the lies of Benjamin Netanyahu.
[01:17:35.700 --> 01:17:39.140]  They'd been telling people for 35 years about nuclear weapons.
[01:17:39.140 --> 01:17:41.060]  Any day now we're going to have nuclear weapons, right?
[01:17:41.060 --> 01:17:44.580]  Not stopped. Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a...
[01:17:44.580 --> 01:17:45.300]  2025.
[01:17:45.860 --> 01:17:48.580]  It could be a year, it could be within a few months.
[01:17:49.460 --> 01:17:51.540]  They have the wherewithal...
[01:17:51.540 --> 01:17:53.060]  2018, seven years ago.
[01:17:53.060 --> 01:17:56.580]  ...knowledge to make a bomb very quickly if they wanted to do it.
[01:17:56.580 --> 01:17:58.660]  Iran is so dangerous.
[01:17:58.660 --> 01:17:59.460]  Weeks away...
[01:17:59.460 --> 01:18:00.500]  2015.
[01:18:00.500 --> 01:18:05.380]  ...the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.
[01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:07.700]  They're very close. They're six months away from being about...
[01:18:07.700 --> 01:18:08.580]  2012.
[01:18:08.580 --> 01:18:10.740]  ...having the rich uranium for an atom bomb.
[01:18:10.980 --> 01:18:11.540]  14 years.
[01:18:11.540 --> 01:18:14.020]  Iran is going up to have to produce 25 bombs...
[01:18:14.020 --> 01:18:15.220]  2006, 20 years.
[01:18:15.220 --> 01:18:17.860]  ...a year, 250 bombs in a decade.
[01:18:17.860 --> 01:18:21.380]  Ladies and gentlemen, Ty is running out.
[01:18:21.380 --> 01:18:25.940]  Iran will be capable of producing alone, without importing anything,
[01:18:25.940 --> 01:18:28.740]  nuclear bombs within three to five...
[01:18:28.740 --> 01:18:32.660]  Yeah, that's right. Yeah. We've heard that story so many times.
[01:18:33.620 --> 01:18:37.220]  The Netanyahu that cried wolf over and over again.
[01:18:37.220 --> 01:18:39.220]  And Mark Levin is out there.
[01:18:39.220 --> 01:18:40.820]  So, of course, we have lost T-Rex.
[01:18:40.820 --> 01:18:41.780]  And we lost three.
[01:18:42.420 --> 01:18:43.060]  Now six.
[01:18:43.620 --> 01:18:44.500]  And there may be more.
[01:18:44.500 --> 01:18:48.660]  And the president says, likely so, because it's a massive military operation.
[01:18:48.660 --> 01:18:49.780]  Terrible thing.
[01:18:49.780 --> 01:18:50.900]  They gave their lives.
[01:18:50.900 --> 01:18:53.540]  But they gave their lives for a great cause.
[01:18:53.540 --> 01:18:54.980]  My country, Israel.
[01:18:56.500 --> 01:18:57.300]  Not America.
[01:18:58.180 --> 01:19:04.660]  That's why you saw that Marine, Brian McGuinness, who did that.
[01:19:04.740 --> 01:19:09.620]  And, of course, the senator who was instrumental in injuring him.
[01:19:09.620 --> 01:19:11.380]  And I'm not sure exactly the extent of it.
[01:19:11.380 --> 01:19:12.420]  He said he broke my hand.
[01:19:12.420 --> 01:19:14.020]  And other people said he broke his arm.
[01:19:14.020 --> 01:19:16.260]  I don't know what was done.
[01:19:16.260 --> 01:19:17.380]  But they got it.
[01:19:17.380 --> 01:19:20.100]  Looked like they got it in the door and did something to it.
[01:19:20.100 --> 01:19:22.020]  But that senator who did it is Republican.
[01:19:22.580 --> 01:19:25.060]  His name is Senator Sheehy.
[01:19:25.860 --> 01:19:27.300]  And I saw somebody put it there.
[01:19:27.300 --> 01:19:30.740]  Usually you see behind a congressman or senator,
[01:19:31.700 --> 01:19:37.540]  you know, they'll put in parentheses R or D, depending on which party, a dash.
[01:19:37.540 --> 01:19:39.940]  And then the state, right?
[01:19:39.940 --> 01:19:42.980]  So you have like a Republican, Texas would be R dash TX.
[01:19:43.700 --> 01:19:49.940]  This guy, they put R dash APAC because that's who he represents.
[01:19:49.940 --> 01:19:50.440]  APAC.
[01:19:51.460 --> 01:19:57.860]  He not only wants to send people to die for Israel, but he'll kill you for Israel as well.
[01:19:58.500 --> 01:20:02.260]  Republican political strategist Tim Miller said Trump's war with Iran
[01:20:02.980 --> 01:20:10.020]  is a total betrayal of his own voters, an obvious betrayal of his campaign promises on Tuesday.
[01:20:10.020 --> 01:20:15.220]  So whether or not Mark Levin agreed to the campaign promises, that's what Trump did.
[01:20:16.580 --> 01:20:23.700]  And so he may believe Netanyahu that Iran is just days or weeks away from a nuclear weapon.
[01:20:23.780 --> 01:20:31.620]  It has been in that kind of strange time warp going back 35 years or so,
[01:20:31.620 --> 01:20:34.260]  that they're just any moment now, they're going to have a nuclear weapon.
[01:20:34.980 --> 01:20:36.580]  He may believe that that's true.
[01:20:37.140 --> 01:20:38.740]  The American people don't.
[01:20:38.740 --> 01:20:42.980]  And Trump promised people what he would do, made a commitment.
[01:20:42.980 --> 01:20:44.820]  But of course, he also took an oath to the constitution.
[01:20:44.820 --> 01:20:46.340]  He doesn't think too much about that.
[01:20:46.340 --> 01:20:52.100]  Marjorie Taylor Greene reacted to Trump's remarks by sharing a video of the fictional Lord Farquad
[01:20:52.820 --> 01:20:53.940]  from Shrek. Remember that?
[01:20:54.980 --> 01:20:58.980]  Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
[01:20:59.700 --> 01:21:01.220]  And that is the way it always goes.
[01:21:01.860 --> 01:21:05.300]  The murder of Iranian school children cannot be whitewashed.
[01:21:06.260 --> 01:21:12.500]  And Mark Levin is out there talking about the wonderful precision munitions that we've got
[01:21:12.500 --> 01:21:13.140]  and so forth.
[01:21:13.140 --> 01:21:18.260]  Well, and the precious lives, he goes, those six lives were precious.
[01:21:19.220 --> 01:21:25.060]  And what about the lives of these school children between seven and 14 years old?
[01:21:25.860 --> 01:21:27.780]  Were those kids lives precious?
[01:21:28.580 --> 01:21:30.020]  Oh, not to him, right?
[01:21:30.020 --> 01:21:31.460]  They're not even human to him.
[01:21:32.260 --> 01:21:35.780]  Western media is either silent or implicitly blaming Tehran
[01:21:36.420 --> 01:21:38.980]  for the strike that killed 168 girls.
[01:21:39.860 --> 01:21:45.460]  14 teachers were also killed in the bombing, seen all too familiar to Palestinians,
[01:21:45.460 --> 01:21:50.020]  grief-stricken parents collapsing and sobbing at the sight of their daughters' murders,
[01:21:50.740 --> 01:21:55.700]  clutching bloodstained backpacks, pulling out school books and personal items of their slain
[01:21:55.700 --> 01:22:01.940]  daughters, children's desks covered in debris from the bombing, a child's shoe in the rubble,
[01:22:02.820 --> 01:22:04.740]  death where life had flourished.
[01:22:05.380 --> 01:22:10.420]  None of this is being conveyed in Western legacy media, only ghoulish gloating
[01:22:10.500 --> 01:22:17.060]  over the U.S. and Israeli bombardment of Iran and the murder of the leader,
[01:22:17.620 --> 01:22:22.500]  Khamenei, and his young granddaughter and children as well.
[01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:28.900]  Israeli foreign minister, I'm sorry, Iranian foreign minister, posted a photo of the graves
[01:22:28.900 --> 01:22:35.060]  being dug and said, these are the graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who
[01:22:35.060 --> 01:22:38.900]  were killed in the U.S.-Israel bombing of a primary school.
[01:22:39.620 --> 01:22:41.380]  Their bodies were torn to shreds.
[01:22:42.180 --> 01:22:46.420]  This is how rescue, promised by Mr. Trump, looks in reality.
[01:22:47.060 --> 01:22:51.060]  From Gaza to Manab, innocents murdered in cold blood.
[01:22:52.100 --> 01:22:58.500]  And as I point out in this article from RT, if the bombed school had been in Israel or Ukraine,
[01:22:59.300 --> 01:23:03.060]  news of it would have been plastered on the front pages of Western media for days,
[01:23:03.060 --> 01:23:08.420]  with widespread demands for retaliation or at least for justice and accountability.
[01:23:09.620 --> 01:23:13.860]  But just like the untold thousands of Palestinian children killed by Israel,
[01:23:14.420 --> 01:23:20.580]  as well as the half a million Iraqi children that were killed by U.S. sanctions, remember
[01:23:21.380 --> 01:23:27.780]  Madeleine Albright, you know, you've had a half million kids killed with your sanctions in Iraq,
[01:23:28.500 --> 01:23:29.940]  starved to death and other things like that.
[01:23:29.940 --> 01:23:31.300]  She didn't contest the number.
[01:23:31.300 --> 01:23:32.820]  She just said it was worth it.
[01:23:34.660 --> 01:23:35.860]  That's their calculus.
[01:23:35.860 --> 01:23:36.740]  It's always worth it.
[01:23:36.740 --> 01:23:39.460]  Your life doesn't mean anything to these people.
[01:23:40.740 --> 01:23:45.860]  So the Iranian children's lives don't merit Western media outrage.
[01:23:45.860 --> 01:23:51.940]  Instead, they produce cynical reports that not only lack any semblance of empathy or sympathy,
[01:23:51.940 --> 01:23:58.740]  but suggest that Iran is either lying about it or Iran is to blame for the murders.
[01:24:00.420 --> 01:24:01.620]  So they didn't attack us.
[01:24:02.580 --> 01:24:08.180]  The BBC reported described the massacre as, quote, unquote, a reported massacre
[01:24:09.700 --> 01:24:15.940]  and said Iran has blamed the U.S. and Israel for it, casting doubt on the standard for legacy
[01:24:15.940 --> 01:24:18.660]  media whitewashing for the U.S. and Israel's crimes.
[01:24:19.460 --> 01:24:24.020]  So the U.S. says we're looking into reports of this happening.
[01:24:24.740 --> 01:24:27.300]  Israel says we're not aware of this.
[01:24:28.580 --> 01:24:29.940]  We don't care about it.
[01:24:29.940 --> 01:24:34.020]  But it's merely reports that blame the U.S. and Israel.
[01:24:34.020 --> 01:24:35.940]  I wonder why they would blame the U.S. and Israel.
[01:24:36.580 --> 01:24:38.100]  Would it be the bombs that they're dropping?
[01:24:38.980 --> 01:24:47.540]  And how Hegseth is so excited to say we are raining down death and destruction from above.
[01:24:49.060 --> 01:24:50.980]  This article was written before he said that.
[01:24:51.780 --> 01:24:52.980]  That's even more damning.
[01:24:54.340 --> 01:24:55.300]  Even more damning.
[01:24:56.020 --> 01:25:01.700]  So the BBC then said deep mistrust of the Iranian regime, however, makes official reports
[01:25:01.700 --> 01:25:03.140]  difficult for many to accept.
[01:25:03.940 --> 01:25:07.540]  And some Iranians directly blamed the regime for the attack.
[01:25:08.820 --> 01:25:16.260]  Yeah, that's not what Trump is doing in terms of his justification for this.
[01:25:16.900 --> 01:25:19.860]  Mark Levin keeps going back to the nuclear stuff.
[01:25:19.860 --> 01:25:22.100]  But of course, Trump is not going to that.
[01:25:22.980 --> 01:25:27.940]  He wants to push into regime change, which tells you they're going to be there for a while.
[01:25:28.820 --> 01:25:33.780]  The New York Times also got the memo, likewise, emitting Israel from the headline
[01:25:33.780 --> 01:25:35.380]  and implying that Iran is lying.
[01:25:36.100 --> 01:25:40.340]  But when it comes to blaming Iran for retaliation, the New York Times has no problem
[01:25:40.340 --> 01:25:42.340]  stating whose missile strike it was.
[01:25:43.140 --> 01:25:47.220]  And there is no Israel says this or Israel alleges that.
[01:25:47.940 --> 01:25:51.220]  CNN ran the headline, a girl's elementary school was hit in Iran.
[01:25:52.100 --> 01:25:52.900]  Here's what we know.
[01:25:53.540 --> 01:25:55.140]  Notice how that works.
[01:25:55.140 --> 01:25:56.500]  We've talked about this.
[01:25:56.500 --> 01:25:59.140]  There'll be a terrorist attack, and they'll say,
[01:25:59.140 --> 01:26:02.900]  truck kills X number of people at a German Christmas market.
[01:26:03.940 --> 01:26:06.340]  We know that's a Muslim attack, right?
[01:26:08.020 --> 01:26:09.620]  But they don't want to say a Muslim did it.
[01:26:09.620 --> 01:26:12.340]  They don't want to say who it was that did it.
[01:26:12.340 --> 01:26:13.620]  The truck did it.
[01:26:14.900 --> 01:26:16.100]  It's this type of thing.
[01:26:16.820 --> 01:26:19.220]  Somehow, this was hit by a missile.
[01:26:19.220 --> 01:26:20.180]  A missile did it.
[01:26:20.660 --> 01:26:24.660]  The US military's central command said they are looking into reports of the incident.
[01:26:25.620 --> 01:26:27.460]  Israel said, we're not even aware of it.
[01:26:27.460 --> 01:26:29.860]  They don't even care to look into it.
[01:26:29.860 --> 01:26:33.220]  Even if you're set aside the actual culprit of the school bombing,
[01:26:33.940 --> 01:26:37.860]  legacy media reports are devoid of any concern for the slaughtered children.
[01:26:38.740 --> 01:26:43.620]  The tone would be radically different if it was Israel, Ukraine, or American.
[01:26:44.340 --> 01:26:46.580]  We would see the names, the ages.
[01:26:47.140 --> 01:26:49.140]  We would have stories about their lives.
[01:26:50.180 --> 01:26:52.740]  They would be, in other words, humanized.
[01:26:53.540 --> 01:26:57.860]  But instead, there is a policy of dehumanization.
[01:26:57.860 --> 01:26:58.740]  Watch out for that.
[01:26:59.300 --> 01:27:01.700]  Watch out for that whenever war breaks out.
[01:27:01.700 --> 01:27:04.260]  As they say, the first casualty of war is truth.
[01:27:04.980 --> 01:27:08.340]  Well, the other thing that happens is you dehumanize the other people
[01:27:08.340 --> 01:27:11.220]  so that you can kill them and boast about killing them,
[01:27:11.940 --> 01:27:13.380]  like War Pete is already doing.
[01:27:14.020 --> 01:27:18.420]  Iran signals prolonged war as US strikes go deeper
[01:27:18.980 --> 01:27:21.860]  and Kurdish groups deny reports of an offensive.
[01:27:22.580 --> 01:27:30.980]  And so you have Congress, actually, the US Senate, the House hasn't done it yet,
[01:27:30.980 --> 01:27:35.380]  but the US Senate looked at the War Powers Act
[01:27:36.020 --> 01:27:39.220]  and they rejected a War Powers resolution.
[01:27:40.180 --> 01:27:45.220]  The purpose of that was to force Trump to either end the aggression
[01:27:45.940 --> 01:27:49.940]  or to seek congressional approval for military strikes on Iran.
[01:27:50.820 --> 01:27:55.860]  And so again, you've got Congress abdicating their power.
[01:27:56.820 --> 01:27:58.340]  We were talking about the tariff issue.
[01:27:58.340 --> 01:27:59.380]  What did the Supreme Court say?
[01:27:59.380 --> 01:28:05.780]  They said, well, they have tried to abdicate their authority on tariffs to some degree,
[01:28:06.500 --> 01:28:09.460]  even with the IEPA stuff.
[01:28:10.660 --> 01:28:12.980]  They abdicated their authority for an economic emergency.
[01:28:12.980 --> 01:28:17.940]  But clearly, our trade deficit is not an economic emergency.
[01:28:17.940 --> 01:28:21.380]  I mean, if you want an economic emergency, take a look at our budget deficit.
[01:28:21.380 --> 01:28:25.140]  But the trade deficit is nothing that is unusual at all
[01:28:25.780 --> 01:28:27.620]  been that way for quite some time.
[01:28:27.620 --> 01:28:32.420]  And they said, this is a major policy, a major question act.
[01:28:32.420 --> 01:28:35.940]  And so the Supreme Court has said in the past that Congress,
[01:28:35.940 --> 01:28:38.660]  although they can abdicate their authority and pass these things
[01:28:38.660 --> 01:28:42.660]  on to the bureaucratic branch underneath the executive,
[01:28:42.660 --> 01:28:44.820]  they can't do it on a major question.
[01:28:45.780 --> 01:28:48.980]  And certainly, war is a major question.
[01:28:48.980 --> 01:28:52.820]  They shouldn't be able to delegate this to the president.
[01:28:53.460 --> 01:28:56.180]  Shame on them for not doing their job.
[01:28:56.820 --> 01:28:59.780]  But the Supreme Court should tell them that they can't do that either.
[01:28:59.780 --> 01:29:04.340]  But the Senate did not want to get into this fight.
[01:29:04.340 --> 01:29:05.620]  The nays are 47.
[01:29:05.620 --> 01:29:06.900]  The nays are 53.
[01:29:06.900 --> 01:29:09.380]  The motion to discharge is not approved.
[01:29:10.180 --> 01:29:11.860]  There you go, 47, 53.
[01:29:11.860 --> 01:29:15.780]  So what happened was you lost one Republican on that
[01:29:15.780 --> 01:29:20.900]  in terms of Rand Paul voted to have the Congress do its job constitutionally.
[01:29:21.700 --> 01:29:27.620]  And then you had Federman who, without it being along partisan lines,
[01:29:27.620 --> 01:29:32.420]  you had Rand Paul voted with the Democrats to enforce the Constitution.
[01:29:32.980 --> 01:29:36.580]  Federman moved with the Republicans to make sure
[01:29:36.580 --> 01:29:39.220]  that they're just going to have war for Israel.
[01:29:40.100 --> 01:29:41.540]  So that's how that worked out.
[01:29:41.940 --> 01:29:46.020]  And of course, Thomas Massey had something to say about this,
[01:29:46.020 --> 01:29:48.100]  and it's coming up for vote in the House.
[01:29:48.100 --> 01:29:52.980]  Mr. Speaker, James Madison wrote to Thomas Jefferson in 1789.
[01:29:52.980 --> 01:29:55.540]  The Constitution supposes what?
[01:29:55.540 --> 01:29:57.780]  The history of all governments demonstrates
[01:29:57.780 --> 01:30:02.820]  that the executive branch of power is the most interested in war
[01:30:02.820 --> 01:30:04.260]  and most prone to it.
[01:30:04.260 --> 01:30:06.740]  It has, accordingly, with studied care,
[01:30:06.740 --> 01:30:10.020]  vested the question of war in the legislature.
[01:30:10.660 --> 01:30:12.260]  The Constitution is clear.
[01:30:12.260 --> 01:30:16.260]  Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of our Constitution
[01:30:16.260 --> 01:30:19.780]  provides Congress initiatory powers of war.
[01:30:19.780 --> 01:30:23.460]  Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of our Constitution
[01:30:23.460 --> 01:30:28.100]  gives the President operational powers of war to wage that war.
[01:30:28.100 --> 01:30:33.220]  Even if this body were to pretend that the 1973 War Powers Resolution
[01:30:33.220 --> 01:30:36.580]  supersedes the clear language of the Constitution,
[01:30:36.580 --> 01:30:41.220]  the President still has not met the conditions required by that law itself.
[01:30:41.860 --> 01:30:45.140]  The 1973 War Powers Resolution states plainly
[01:30:45.140 --> 01:30:49.700]  that the President may only introduce U.S. armed forces
[01:30:49.700 --> 01:30:53.620]  into hostilities pursuant to three conditions.
[01:30:53.620 --> 01:30:59.380]  Either 1, declaration of war, 2, specific statutory authorization,
[01:30:59.380 --> 01:31:04.500]  or 3, a national emergency created by an attack upon the United States.
[01:31:04.500 --> 01:31:07.300]  None of those conditions exist today.
[01:31:07.300 --> 01:31:10.820]  Iran has not attacked the United States, Congress has not declared war,
[01:31:10.820 --> 01:31:15.940]  and Congress has not granted specific statutory authorization.
[01:31:15.940 --> 01:31:20.020]  Beyond the Constitutional question, here lies an even more important one.
[01:31:20.020 --> 01:31:23.300]  Why are we going to war with Iran?
[01:31:23.300 --> 01:31:27.140]  We owe our military service members a clear mission.
[01:31:27.780 --> 01:31:30.820]  And American families in my district want to know
[01:31:30.820 --> 01:31:33.460]  how this is going to help them pay for groceries.
[01:31:33.460 --> 01:31:38.580]  How does this make them any safer in their schools or in their neighborhoods?
[01:31:38.580 --> 01:31:40.740]  How does this help them pay for housing?
[01:31:40.740 --> 01:31:43.140]  Have we learned nothing from the laundry list of wars
[01:31:43.140 --> 01:31:47.060]  and regime change experiments we sparked across the Middle East
[01:31:47.060 --> 01:31:50.740]  that have racked up a total of at least $8 trillion of debt
[01:31:50.740 --> 01:31:53.620]  in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan?
[01:31:54.260 --> 01:31:58.180]  A sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region.
[01:31:58.820 --> 01:32:01.140]  It's already ignited the region.
[01:32:01.140 --> 01:32:03.700]  It will radicalize new generations of terrorists,
[01:32:03.700 --> 01:32:08.900]  and it will send more swarms of refugees into Europe and the United States.
[01:32:08.900 --> 01:32:10.820]  Iran is not Venezuela.
[01:32:10.820 --> 01:32:13.140]  The Ayatollah was not a president.
[01:32:13.140 --> 01:32:18.180]  He was a religious leader from a region notorious for radical Islamists.
[01:32:18.180 --> 01:32:21.540]  And the United States and Israel turned him into a martyr.
[01:32:22.100 --> 01:32:24.100]  And in the process of doing so,
[01:32:24.100 --> 01:32:26.180]  we've already expanded billions of dollars,
[01:32:26.180 --> 01:32:29.860]  and more solemnly, six American families must now lay to rest
[01:32:29.860 --> 01:32:30.980]  their sons and daughters.
[01:32:31.620 --> 01:32:32.660]  And for what?
[01:32:32.660 --> 01:32:36.100]  This administration can't even give us a straight answer
[01:32:36.100 --> 01:32:39.300]  as to why we launched this preemptive war.
[01:32:39.300 --> 01:32:41.300]  The president says we had to strike first
[01:32:41.300 --> 01:32:43.540]  because an Iranian strike was imminent.
[01:32:43.540 --> 01:32:45.780]  Meanwhile, the Department of Defense conceded
[01:32:45.780 --> 01:32:49.380]  there was no evidence of an imminent Iranian strike.
[01:32:50.020 --> 01:32:53.220]  Some told us this war was about nuclear weapons.
[01:32:53.220 --> 01:32:57.060]  But six months ago, we were assured our last strike on Iran
[01:32:57.060 --> 01:32:58.980]  decimated their nuclear program.
[01:32:59.060 --> 01:32:59.940]  So which is it?
[01:33:00.660 --> 01:33:04.180]  I think the most candid answer came from the Secretary of State
[01:33:04.820 --> 01:33:08.500]  who told the press that Israel forced our hand
[01:33:08.500 --> 01:33:11.540]  and dragged us into this war again.
[01:33:13.060 --> 01:33:18.020]  And that truth is the very reason why it is Congress that must decide war.
[01:33:18.020 --> 01:33:21.940]  If American lives are to be risked and American blood is to be shed,
[01:33:21.940 --> 01:33:24.260]  that decision must be debated and voted on
[01:33:24.260 --> 01:33:26.580]  by the representatives of the American people.
[01:33:26.580 --> 01:33:29.540]  And that debate is meant to be arduous.
[01:33:29.540 --> 01:33:31.780]  And that vote is meant to be hard.
[01:33:31.780 --> 01:33:32.740]  I have a theory.
[01:33:33.780 --> 01:33:37.060]  I think my colleagues don't want to go on record
[01:33:37.060 --> 01:33:41.860]  because we have a terrible track record of meddling in the Middle East.
[01:33:41.860 --> 01:33:44.660]  They don't want their name associated with this
[01:33:44.660 --> 01:33:46.100]  when it doesn't turn out well.
[01:33:46.820 --> 01:33:50.420]  But Congress cannot be bothered with its constitutional duty
[01:33:50.420 --> 01:33:51.860]  because for many in this chamber,
[01:33:51.860 --> 01:33:55.780]  it's easier to simply allow someone else's sons and daughters
[01:33:55.780 --> 01:33:58.740]  to be sent to combat without their vote.
[01:33:59.300 --> 01:34:02.180]  And to be clear, we aren't even here to declare war today.
[01:34:02.180 --> 01:34:04.740]  All we're voting on is a war powers resolution
[01:34:04.740 --> 01:34:09.060]  to reassert the Constitution that Congress must decide questions of war.
[01:34:09.060 --> 01:34:10.340]  And if Congress wants war,
[01:34:10.340 --> 01:34:12.980]  then the speaker should hold a vote to declare it.
[01:34:12.980 --> 01:34:17.220]  Some say Congress authorizes war when we pay for it,
[01:34:17.220 --> 01:34:18.820]  when we pass the budget bill.
[01:34:18.820 --> 01:34:20.100]  Here's the problem.
[01:34:20.100 --> 01:34:23.620]  We haven't taken on the hard work of defining the mission
[01:34:23.620 --> 01:34:25.860]  for our sons and daughters who are going to fight.
[01:34:25.860 --> 01:34:27.620]  That's not in the budget bill.
[01:34:27.620 --> 01:34:28.420]  It never is.
[01:34:28.980 --> 01:34:31.620]  And to the men and women who are engaged in combat,
[01:34:32.260 --> 01:34:35.540]  I sincerely thank you and I pray for your safety.
[01:34:36.260 --> 01:34:38.740]  It is for you that I wrote this resolution.
[01:34:38.740 --> 01:34:42.020]  It is for you that all of us are here on this floor
[01:34:42.020 --> 01:34:43.780]  working so hard to force this vote
[01:34:43.780 --> 01:34:46.740]  so that you will have a clear mission that you deserve
[01:34:46.740 --> 01:34:49.620]  so that you will know when you achieve it, you can come home.
[01:34:49.620 --> 01:34:55.220]  Unfortunately, he's wasted in a corrupt institution like the US House.
[01:34:56.260 --> 01:34:57.300]  He needs to be president.
[01:34:58.820 --> 01:35:00.340]  And so why are we doing this?
[01:35:00.340 --> 01:35:02.820]  Well, of course, we know why this is happening
[01:35:02.820 --> 01:35:04.500]  and we know what the objective is.
[01:35:04.500 --> 01:35:08.340]  The objective is to fully and finally destroy Iran.
[01:35:08.340 --> 01:35:12.980]  That is the fool's errand that Netanyahu has co-opted us on.
[01:35:12.980 --> 01:35:15.940]  He asked the White House if the Trump administration
[01:35:15.940 --> 01:35:19.380]  is secretly talking with Iran about a ceasefire,
[01:35:19.380 --> 01:35:23.860]  after Israeli intelligence suspected possible communications.
[01:35:24.660 --> 01:35:25.700]  So think about this.
[01:35:26.340 --> 01:35:32.420]  You've got the, as always, you've got the Israeli intelligence spying on us
[01:35:33.620 --> 01:35:35.140]  and then questioning the president.
[01:35:35.140 --> 01:35:37.140]  How dare you talk to them?
[01:35:37.140 --> 01:35:38.180]  I've got intelligence.
[01:35:38.180 --> 01:35:39.140]  We've been watching you.
[01:35:39.700 --> 01:35:41.620]  You better not talk to them.
[01:35:41.620 --> 01:35:43.300]  The White House denied any talks
[01:35:43.940 --> 01:35:47.700]  and said the US has ignored messages that were sent by Iran
[01:35:47.700 --> 01:35:51.460]  through regional intermediaries, said Axios.
[01:35:52.820 --> 01:35:53.540]  So there we go.
[01:35:54.420 --> 01:35:55.860]  No, no, no, Netanyahu.
[01:35:55.860 --> 01:35:57.780]  Bibi, I'll do whatever you tell me, please.
[01:35:57.780 --> 01:35:58.740]  I haven't betrayed you.
[01:35:59.380 --> 01:36:00.100]  It's pathetic.
[01:36:00.820 --> 01:36:02.420]  It really is pathetic.
[01:36:02.420 --> 01:36:06.900]  Meanwhile, Turkey says a ballistic missile fired by Iran was destroyed by NATO.
[01:36:06.900 --> 01:36:08.660]  A lot of people are saying, well, is this going to be the thing
[01:36:08.660 --> 01:36:09.940]  that's going to draw NATO in?
[01:36:09.940 --> 01:36:11.300]  That's not going to help.
[01:36:11.300 --> 01:36:14.740]  I mean, it would widen the war, but it would not really help.
[01:36:14.740 --> 01:36:17.460]  I mean, the US is, for all practical purposes, NATO.
[01:36:18.420 --> 01:36:19.140]  Beginning and end.
[01:36:19.140 --> 01:36:20.740]  Recall that in 2002,
[01:36:21.380 --> 01:36:27.300]  Bush's then Defense Secretary Rumsfeld declared of impending Iraqi operations.
[01:36:27.940 --> 01:36:31.860]  Rumsfeld said five days or five weeks or five months,
[01:36:31.860 --> 01:36:34.820]  but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that.
[01:36:36.020 --> 01:36:38.020]  It won't be World War III, he said.
[01:36:38.020 --> 01:36:39.780]  Well, that was the only thing that he got right.
[01:36:41.140 --> 01:36:45.060]  Hegseth, for the first time on Wednesday, suggested eight weeks.
[01:36:45.940 --> 01:36:47.140]  Again, they've already doubled it.
[01:36:47.700 --> 01:36:49.540]  They were saying four to five weeks.
[01:36:49.540 --> 01:36:50.980]  Now they're saying eight weeks.
[01:36:51.780 --> 01:36:55.460]  Well, US losses stand at at least six service members killed,
[01:36:55.460 --> 01:36:57.620]  but hey, for Mark Levin, it was worth it.
[01:36:58.980 --> 01:37:00.500]  With several critically wounded,
[01:37:01.300 --> 01:37:05.540]  CENTCOM has yet to issue a new Wednesday casualty update.
[01:37:06.500 --> 01:37:09.300]  You can't trust any of these numbers when they came out with it.
[01:37:09.940 --> 01:37:13.700]  Warpete says that war with Iran could last up to eight weeks.
[01:37:13.700 --> 01:37:20.260]  US and Israel expect to achieve uncontested airspace over the country in under a week
[01:37:20.820 --> 01:37:27.460]  and to unleash, as Warpete says, death and destruction from the sky all day long.
[01:37:28.340 --> 01:37:29.140]  All day long.
[01:37:29.140 --> 01:37:32.340]  Yeah, that's what they're very excited about.
[01:37:32.340 --> 01:37:35.460]  Again, sorry, I hit the wrong button here.
[01:37:36.500 --> 01:37:40.580]  But yeah, raining death and destruction down from the sky all day long.
[01:37:40.580 --> 01:37:46.820]  As a matter of fact, Mike Johnson, when we look at what a justified war is,
[01:37:46.820 --> 01:37:50.340]  it's when somebody else attacks you, as we've talked about this many times,
[01:37:50.340 --> 01:37:55.540]  maneuvering the other people into attacking in a passive aggressive way.
[01:37:55.540 --> 01:37:58.180]  That has been the pattern we've seen over and over again,
[01:37:58.900 --> 01:38:03.780]  either that or a false flag attack that it may not even be a real attack.
[01:38:03.780 --> 01:38:05.940]  It could be something like the Gulf of Tonkin.
[01:38:06.500 --> 01:38:13.860]  But Mike Johnson had the audacity to talk about American embassies being attacked
[01:38:13.860 --> 01:38:16.420]  as if Iran had initiated that.
[01:38:17.060 --> 01:38:20.420]  Iran has attacked three of our US embassies in the last couple of days.
[01:38:21.060 --> 01:38:21.860]  What have you attacked?
[01:38:21.860 --> 01:38:23.060]  Those are sovereign territories of the US.
[01:38:23.060 --> 01:38:24.260]  They have declared war on us.
[01:38:24.980 --> 01:38:26.340]  I don't believe in the semantics.
[01:38:26.340 --> 01:38:28.260]  We've talked about the language this morning.
[01:38:28.260 --> 01:38:29.860]  We're not at war right now.
[01:38:29.860 --> 01:38:36.900]  We're in four days in to a very specific, clear mission, an operation,
[01:38:36.900 --> 01:38:40.420]  Operation Epic Fury, which has two components, as you know,
[01:38:40.420 --> 01:38:42.260]  that we have articulated over and over.
[01:38:42.260 --> 01:38:46.740]  The president has, the commander of the Joint Chiefs, everybody has explained.
[01:38:48.020 --> 01:38:54.980]  Isn't that amazing that you could have somebody that could be that much of a liar?
[01:38:55.540 --> 01:38:56.820]  Just look at you and lie to your face.
[01:38:56.820 --> 01:38:58.900]  And these people standing behind him, you got Tom Emmer
[01:38:59.620 --> 01:39:01.700]  and Steve Scalise standing behind him.
[01:39:01.700 --> 01:39:03.460]  I would never stand behind that liar.
[01:39:03.460 --> 01:39:06.500]  I would never want to be associated with him in any way whatsoever.
[01:39:06.500 --> 01:39:07.700]  Well, they declared war on us.
[01:39:07.700 --> 01:39:08.900]  They attacked our embassies.
[01:39:09.860 --> 01:39:11.540]  That's American sovereign territory.
[01:39:12.340 --> 01:39:15.380]  Well, you know, Iran is sovereign territory for Iranians,
[01:39:15.380 --> 01:39:20.260]  and you're killing school children with your precision bombing.
[01:39:21.140 --> 01:39:23.620]  But we shouldn't pay any attention to that.
[01:39:24.420 --> 01:39:26.740]  We shouldn't complain about that as well.
[01:39:27.460 --> 01:39:31.060]  And so how is this all working out for us?
[01:39:31.060 --> 01:39:35.220]  Well, there was a base that was hit and it's a pretty significant hit.
[01:39:35.220 --> 01:39:38.820]  And this is the type of thing that can always go wrong in a war.
[01:39:38.820 --> 01:39:40.580]  Has struck Al Udeid Air Base.
[01:39:40.580 --> 01:39:42.900]  As I said, the biggest American base in the region.
[01:39:43.700 --> 01:39:47.140]  We don't know much more, no casualties reported as of yet.
[01:39:47.140 --> 01:39:48.900]  Again, we don't know what we don't know,
[01:39:48.900 --> 01:39:52.020]  but we do know they are saying it was a ballistic missile.
[01:39:52.020 --> 01:39:53.940]  It's obviously a significant development.
[01:39:53.940 --> 01:40:00.340]  And as that is coming in, we are learning that the CIA is also working to trigger
[01:40:00.340 --> 01:40:02.260]  some sort of an uprising inside of Iran.
[01:40:02.260 --> 01:40:06.900]  Now, this is a major and potentially explosive development in the war.
[01:40:06.900 --> 01:40:10.340]  So let me tell you what we know here with these breaking details.
[01:40:10.340 --> 01:40:13.460]  Multiple people familiar with the plan are telling CNN
[01:40:13.460 --> 01:40:17.540]  that the Trump administration is working to arm Kurdish forces,
[01:40:18.100 --> 01:40:20.260]  who they then expect to take part in.
[01:40:21.380 --> 01:40:23.380]  Yeah, so we want to widen the war.
[01:40:23.380 --> 01:40:25.940]  We're going to create a civil war there in Iran,
[01:40:25.940 --> 01:40:28.980]  because that is what American foreign policy is always about.
[01:40:30.100 --> 01:40:34.980]  We have known knowns, we have known unknowns, we have unknown unknowns.
[01:40:34.980 --> 01:40:38.740]  Then we have the people in the Trump administration don't know nothing, right?
[01:40:40.340 --> 01:40:42.660]  Don't know nothing about history.
[01:40:43.700 --> 01:40:45.780]  Don't know much about biology.
[01:40:45.780 --> 01:40:50.580]  The New York Times is detailing with satellite and open source image analysis
[01:40:50.580 --> 01:40:56.580]  that the Pentagon's sophisticated radar and com infrastructure around the Persian Gulf
[01:40:56.580 --> 01:40:59.380]  is being steadily reduced and decimated by Iran.
[01:41:00.340 --> 01:41:04.100]  They write Iranian strikes conducted over the weekend and on Monday
[01:41:04.100 --> 01:41:08.260]  damaged structures that are part of our near communication radar system
[01:41:08.260 --> 01:41:12.340]  on at least seven U.S. military sites across the Middle East.
[01:41:13.140 --> 01:41:18.820]  They're not just attacking embassies, they're attacking these communication sites.
[01:41:19.780 --> 01:41:25.300]  Visuals show damage on or close to mechanisms used to track incoming ballistic missiles,
[01:41:25.300 --> 01:41:31.060]  satellite dishes, and radio domes, which are weatherproof covers that protect sensitive
[01:41:31.060 --> 01:41:34.500]  equipment used by forces to communicate over long distances.
[01:41:34.500 --> 01:41:38.420]  U.S. military communications of infrastructure is highly classified,
[01:41:38.420 --> 01:41:43.060]  making it difficult to determine which exact systems may have been affected.
[01:41:43.620 --> 01:41:46.660]  But the targeted locations appear to indicate
[01:41:46.660 --> 01:41:50.900]  that Iran was aiming to disrupt the U.S. military's ability to communicate and coordinate.
[01:41:51.460 --> 01:41:57.380]  Iran has attacked the U.S. military's communication capacity as recently as last June
[01:41:57.380 --> 01:42:01.460]  when it struck a Qatari base and it hit again over the weekend.
[01:42:01.460 --> 01:42:06.020]  Strikes potentially affecting these systems also occurred on military facilities
[01:42:06.020 --> 01:42:10.100]  in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
[01:42:11.060 --> 01:42:17.940]  And then there was a longer post on social media going into more detail about this.
[01:42:18.740 --> 01:42:23.300]  The New York Times, which this person points out, this is not a telegram channel,
[01:42:23.300 --> 01:42:28.660]  it's not a Russian state broadcaster, but they published satellite imagery confirming
[01:42:28.660 --> 01:42:33.220]  what Iran said it was doing while Washington was busy telling you that it wasn't working.
[01:42:34.020 --> 01:42:39.540]  Every major U.S. base across the Gulf systematically and methodically attacked.
[01:42:40.340 --> 01:42:45.700]  Bahrain 5th Fleet Headquarters, the nerve center of American naval power in the region,
[01:42:46.580 --> 01:42:50.580]  the base in Qatar that they were just talking about on Saudi Arabia,
[01:42:50.580 --> 01:42:55.460]  already missing its $1.1 billion radar system.
[01:42:56.340 --> 01:42:58.180]  And then another camp in Kuwait.
[01:42:58.900 --> 01:43:04.900]  Then Ali al-Salam, Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia, the UAE facilities,
[01:43:04.900 --> 01:43:10.420]  SATCOM terminals destroyed, radomes cracked open, satellite dishes gone,
[01:43:10.420 --> 01:43:15.780]  missile tracking infrastructure, the radar systems that coordinate every patriot
[01:43:15.780 --> 01:43:18.820]  and every THAAD battery in theater.
[01:43:19.620 --> 01:43:25.780]  These were targeted with what the imagery confirms was not luck, but was architecture.
[01:43:26.340 --> 01:43:28.340]  Iran didn't just strike the U.S. bases.
[01:43:28.340 --> 01:43:31.380]  It mapped the communication and coordination layer
[01:43:31.380 --> 01:43:34.580]  that makes American missile defense function as a unified system,
[01:43:35.140 --> 01:43:37.780]  and then it peeled it apart, base by base.
[01:43:38.660 --> 01:43:41.300]  This is not retaliation, but doctrine.
[01:43:41.300 --> 01:43:44.820]  30 years of studying exactly how the American military machine
[01:43:44.820 --> 01:43:47.300]  sees, communicates, and coordinates.
[01:43:47.860 --> 01:43:51.620]  And then when the moment came, going straight for the eyes.
[01:43:52.420 --> 01:43:53.940]  The interceptors are blind.
[01:43:53.940 --> 01:43:55.620]  The magazines are depleted.
[01:43:55.620 --> 01:43:58.340]  The Navy can't guarantee escorts in the strait.
[01:43:58.900 --> 01:44:01.780]  Raytheon is being summoned to emergency meetings.
[01:44:02.580 --> 01:44:04.900]  South Korea is sitting exposed.
[01:44:04.900 --> 01:44:08.660]  And the New York Times just put the satellite pictures on the front page.
[01:44:09.460 --> 01:44:14.020]  Washington built the most expensive military architecture,
[01:44:14.020 --> 01:44:15.780]  and it's highly centralized, folks.
[01:44:15.780 --> 01:44:17.220]  That's the other key part of this.
[01:44:18.660 --> 01:44:21.860]  Highly centralized and expensive military architecture in human history.
[01:44:23.300 --> 01:44:26.580]  Iran just showed you the blueprint for how to dismantle it.
[01:44:27.140 --> 01:44:31.060]  This is not going according to plan, assuming that there was a plan,
[01:44:31.060 --> 01:44:33.140]  which I'm not convinced that there was.
[01:44:34.100 --> 01:44:40.260]  They continue by saying that the radar that was destroyed was not just a target,
[01:44:40.260 --> 01:44:44.900]  but the nervous system of every one of these Patriot batteries and every FAD launcher.
[01:44:45.460 --> 01:44:49.380]  Every layered air defense architecture that the U.S. has spent four decades
[01:44:50.020 --> 01:44:54.260]  and several trillion dollars constructing across the Gulf.
[01:44:54.900 --> 01:44:58.100]  Every interceptor and theater just went partially blind.
[01:44:58.980 --> 01:45:05.620]  The backbone of American missile defense in the most fortified U.S. base in the Middle East,
[01:45:05.620 --> 01:45:10.580]  taken out by a single Iranian strike while they were busy stripping South Korea's defenses,
[01:45:11.220 --> 01:45:13.700]  summoning Raytheon to the White House and requesting
[01:45:13.700 --> 01:45:18.260]  50 billion dollars in emergency funds to restock magazines
[01:45:18.260 --> 01:45:20.420]  that were already hollow before the war began.
[01:45:21.220 --> 01:45:24.020]  The air defense shortage is worse than most imagined.
[01:45:24.580 --> 01:45:28.580]  By the way, with Trump blaming Biden for this, saying,
[01:45:28.580 --> 01:45:30.900]  well, he didn't leave us with enough missiles or anything.
[01:45:30.900 --> 01:45:32.500]  He's been president for a year.
[01:45:33.620 --> 01:45:37.060]  If he was going to go to war, he didn't plan for it
[01:45:37.620 --> 01:45:40.180]  and he didn't produce the material that he needed for it.
[01:45:40.980 --> 01:45:44.260]  A cutter claims to have intercepted 101 missiles.
[01:45:45.060 --> 01:45:51.540]  They also claim that two of them got through, so they got 101 out of 103.
[01:45:52.500 --> 01:45:54.500]  One of them hit the only target that mattered.
[01:45:55.300 --> 01:45:58.660]  This is asymmetric warfare distilled to its purest form.
[01:45:59.460 --> 01:46:01.060]  Iran has succeeded once.
[01:46:01.700 --> 01:46:04.580]  The U.S. has to be perfect every time and, of course, they weren't.
[01:46:05.380 --> 01:46:09.140]  And now the U.S. Navy, the force that Trump promised
[01:46:09.140 --> 01:46:11.860]  would escort Gulf shipping through the strait,
[01:46:11.860 --> 01:46:14.820]  has announced that it cannot provide escorts in the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:46:15.620 --> 01:46:17.780]  No escorts, no timeline.
[01:46:18.420 --> 01:46:22.900]  But even if they do, they're setting ducks for Iran's coastal defense forces.
[01:46:23.700 --> 01:46:26.820]  No Iranian Navy presence is required.
[01:46:26.820 --> 01:46:30.740]  They're very excited that whatever Iran had of a Navy,
[01:46:30.740 --> 01:46:32.580]  and I can't imagine it was much of anything,
[01:46:32.580 --> 01:46:34.740]  they said they had like 10 ships or something.
[01:46:34.740 --> 01:46:35.620]  They're all gone now.
[01:46:35.620 --> 01:46:37.140]  We destroyed all of them.
[01:46:37.140 --> 01:46:37.640]  So what?
[01:46:38.980 --> 01:46:40.820]  That really doesn't matter.
[01:46:42.180 --> 01:46:45.860]  It's the other missiles and the drones that matter.
[01:46:45.860 --> 01:46:50.660]  The petrodollar runs through the choke point that the U.S. can no longer credibly protect,
[01:46:51.540 --> 01:46:55.860]  defended by interceptor systems that are now operating without their primary radar,
[01:46:56.580 --> 01:47:04.180]  restocked by a Raytheon production line that can only make 37 THAAD interceptors a year.
[01:47:05.460 --> 01:47:07.620]  3,200 ships are sitting idle.
[01:47:07.620 --> 01:47:12.020]  European gas is up by 50% and climbing fast.
[01:47:12.580 --> 01:47:15.060]  A global recession is no longer a forecast.
[01:47:16.500 --> 01:47:17.540]  It's a Wednesday.
[01:47:19.780 --> 01:47:22.740]  The Gulf monarchs who rented their soul to Washington
[01:47:22.740 --> 01:47:27.860]  are now watching their ports burn and their pipelines get threatened.
[01:47:28.740 --> 01:47:31.140]  And the Navy says that it needs more time.
[01:47:32.580 --> 01:47:35.860]  Well, I don't revel in seeing this kind of destruction,
[01:47:36.900 --> 01:47:39.700]  but certainly because it disturbs me to see
[01:47:40.420 --> 01:47:44.100]  Hegseth cheering the destruction of anybody.
[01:47:44.100 --> 01:47:45.060]  I don't want to see war.
[01:47:46.020 --> 01:47:49.540]  It's the sort of thing when you look at the reality of it.
[01:47:49.540 --> 01:47:53.860]  It's one thing to have some kind of an abstraction
[01:47:53.860 --> 01:47:55.700]  that you lie to yourself and lie to other people.
[01:47:55.700 --> 01:47:58.180]  It's what they do all the time with abortion.
[01:47:58.740 --> 01:48:03.220]  By the way, Planned Parenthood defunded by Trump in March
[01:48:03.220 --> 01:48:05.620]  and then quietly reinstated in December.
[01:48:06.340 --> 01:48:07.940]  Same thing with the United Nations.
[01:48:07.940 --> 01:48:09.860]  And of course, with the United Nations,
[01:48:10.420 --> 01:48:14.100]  you had Melania went to United Nations
[01:48:14.100 --> 01:48:16.900]  and was speaking about of all things
[01:48:16.900 --> 01:48:20.340]  as they're bombing and killing 160 kids.
[01:48:21.060 --> 01:48:24.260]  She goes to the UN and hypocritically talks about
[01:48:24.260 --> 01:48:26.420]  how they're going to help children in conflict.
[01:48:30.020 --> 01:48:33.060]  The provisional agenda for this meeting is
[01:48:34.660 --> 01:48:37.940]  maintenance of international peace and security.
[01:48:38.580 --> 01:48:42.980]  Children, technology, and education in conflict.
[01:48:45.780 --> 01:48:47.620]  The agenda is adopted.
[01:48:49.540 --> 01:48:51.700]  Yeah, we've got children conflict everywhere.
[01:48:52.580 --> 01:48:55.860]  And so the question is, and somebody put up a clip
[01:48:55.860 --> 01:48:59.860]  of Ghislaine Maxwell talking to the UN as well.
[01:48:59.860 --> 01:49:03.220]  It's like, how do these two Epstein girls,
[01:49:03.220 --> 01:49:04.340]  how do they get to the point
[01:49:04.340 --> 01:49:05.780]  where they get to talk to the UN?
[01:49:06.580 --> 01:49:08.100]  That's a rhetorical question, right?
[01:49:09.300 --> 01:49:11.460]  Supposedly she knows six languages.
[01:49:11.460 --> 01:49:12.900]  She can't even speak English well.
[01:49:13.620 --> 01:49:16.180]  She had to have a translator when she went to France
[01:49:16.180 --> 01:49:17.220]  and when she went to Italy.
[01:49:19.460 --> 01:49:21.380]  All of this stuff, folks, is a lie.
[01:49:22.340 --> 01:49:24.260]  Trump cuts the funding of the UN
[01:49:24.260 --> 01:49:27.540]  and then he reinstates the funding to the UN.
[01:49:27.540 --> 01:49:30.340]  His wife gets to chair the Security Council meeting.
[01:49:30.340 --> 01:49:31.620]  How does that work out?
[01:49:31.620 --> 01:49:35.300]  But just remember, don't forget, Trump is against the UN.
[01:49:35.300 --> 01:49:36.820]  He's against the globalist.
[01:49:36.820 --> 01:49:38.740]  He's against the world economic forum,
[01:49:38.740 --> 01:49:40.980]  even though they keep inviting him to speak
[01:49:40.980 --> 01:49:43.380]  and they keep giving him standing ovations when he does.
[01:49:44.580 --> 01:49:48.020]  Yeah, just tell yourself that he's the guy that you needed.
[01:49:48.580 --> 01:49:49.700]  He's your savior.
[01:49:50.340 --> 01:49:51.460]  He's gonna do all that.
[01:49:51.460 --> 01:49:55.860]  He is as adamantly opposed to you as he could be
[01:49:56.580 --> 01:49:57.380]  if you're an American.
[01:49:58.180 --> 01:50:01.220]  He is adamantly opposed to America first.
[01:50:01.940 --> 01:50:05.300]  Everything that he does is against our interests.
[01:50:05.860 --> 01:50:07.140]  When will people wake up?
[01:50:08.020 --> 01:50:11.460]  So the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency,
[01:50:11.460 --> 01:50:15.540]  said satellite imagery showed no damage to facilities
[01:50:15.540 --> 01:50:17.940]  containing nuclear material in Iran,
[01:50:17.940 --> 01:50:21.540]  therefore no radiological release risk at this time.
[01:50:22.740 --> 01:50:23.860]  You hear that, Mark Levin?
[01:50:25.380 --> 01:50:28.420]  You whining little traitor.
[01:50:28.660 --> 01:50:33.140]  Yeah, it was never about the nuclear stuff, never about it.
[01:50:34.500 --> 01:50:37.780]  He keeps throwing that out just like Benjamin Netanyahu.
[01:50:37.780 --> 01:50:42.100]  The US Joint Chiefs announced in a Pentagon briefing with Hegseth
[01:50:42.900 --> 01:50:47.060]  that they stand ready to strike deeper into Iranian territory
[01:50:47.060 --> 01:50:50.740]  and that forces are shifting to there from large
[01:50:50.740 --> 01:50:54.260]  to more precision strikes across Iran.
[01:50:54.820 --> 01:50:56.740]  So as all this stuff is happening,
[01:50:57.220 --> 01:50:59.540]  they are trying to permit a civil war.
[01:50:59.540 --> 01:51:00.900]  They're talking about going deeper.
[01:51:00.900 --> 01:51:02.820]  They're doubling the amount of time.
[01:51:02.820 --> 01:51:05.380]  Oh, this isn't gonna be a quagmire at all, is it?
[01:51:06.580 --> 01:51:09.060]  Now, we're there to get rid of the nuclear weapons
[01:51:09.060 --> 01:51:11.380]  that Trump said he destroyed last summer.
[01:51:12.340 --> 01:51:16.740]  We're going back again to finish the job that he now says,
[01:51:16.740 --> 01:51:19.860]  well, I did it, but they rebuilt it all in six months
[01:51:19.860 --> 01:51:21.860]  because you know, those people, I gotta say,
[01:51:22.020 --> 01:51:27.060]  I gotta say, if they are so good at rebuilding this stuff,
[01:51:27.060 --> 01:51:29.460]  you haven't got any chance of ever stopping it anyway.
[01:51:29.460 --> 01:51:33.780]  So either you're lying or these people are kind of superhuman
[01:51:33.780 --> 01:51:36.420]  in terms of what they are going to create.
[01:51:36.420 --> 01:51:39.380]  Israel and the US are noticeably blowing up border installations.
[01:51:39.380 --> 01:51:44.100]  This appears to be in preparation for a reported CIA Israel plan
[01:51:44.100 --> 01:51:49.700]  to back the Kurds who are being prodded to foment civil war in Iran.
[01:51:50.660 --> 01:51:54.260]  Some Democrat lawmakers blasted Trump's justification for the strikes,
[01:51:54.260 --> 01:51:58.260]  warning the US risks sliding into a ground invasion
[01:51:58.260 --> 01:52:01.380]  and an open-ended engagement with no end in sight.
[01:52:02.100 --> 01:52:07.220]  Israel continues to get hit hard and Iranian ballistic missiles,
[01:52:07.220 --> 01:52:12.660]  some reportedly being hypersonic, continues to slip past air defenses.
[01:52:13.380 --> 01:52:16.260]  Israel's finance ministry estimates economic damage from the war
[01:52:16.260 --> 01:52:21.140]  could reach $3 billion per week, per week.
[01:52:21.940 --> 01:52:24.100]  Well, let's take that out by eight, right?
[01:52:24.100 --> 01:52:28.740]  So $24 billion, I don't know what their budget is or their GDP,
[01:52:28.740 --> 01:52:31.060]  but that's a lot of money by anybody's standard.
[01:52:31.780 --> 01:52:34.180]  There's been widespread criticism and questions
[01:52:34.180 --> 01:52:37.220]  surrounding the administration's emphasis on protecting Israel.
[01:52:38.020 --> 01:52:40.900]  Trump just said that if your cost of living goes up
[01:52:40.900 --> 01:52:45.620]  because he's bombed Iran, that's worth it to make Israel safe.
[01:52:46.740 --> 01:52:50.100]  Just like you put Argentina ahead of American farmers.
[01:52:50.740 --> 01:52:54.900]  What was initially touted by Washington as an attack that would be limited
[01:52:55.460 --> 01:52:58.980]  is now metastasizing across multiple theaters,
[01:52:58.980 --> 01:53:03.540]  including Gulf energy routes, Eastern Mediterranean shipping lanes,
[01:53:04.100 --> 01:53:09.940]  NATO airspace, with both sides signaling that they're prepared for a long fight.
[01:53:11.300 --> 01:53:12.820]  Well, it's already been a long fight.
[01:53:12.980 --> 01:53:16.180]  The fight's been going on for 73 years,
[01:53:16.980 --> 01:53:19.380]  and that's the reality of why it's happening here.
[01:53:19.380 --> 01:53:23.860]  Jeffrey Sachs says, Trump is an utter disgrace to our nation.
[01:53:24.740 --> 01:53:30.420]  He lied to us, he points out, and he says, this is a long-term plan.
[01:53:30.420 --> 01:53:34.820]  This is a Mossad CIA plan, you know, the Epstein people.
[01:53:35.620 --> 01:53:40.180]  For American control of the Middle East and Israeli military hegemony in the Middle East,
[01:53:40.340 --> 01:53:44.020]  in the Middle East that's been underway since 1996.
[01:53:45.060 --> 01:53:49.140]  This is madness, and it is a murderous delusion.
[01:53:49.780 --> 01:53:52.660]  And of course, Pete Hegseth is the guy there to bring us the murder.
[01:53:53.700 --> 01:53:57.460]  He pointed to a series of U.S.-backed or U.S.-involved conflicts across the region,
[01:53:57.460 --> 01:54:01.700]  from Libya to Sudan to Somalia, and the ongoing crisis in Gaza
[01:54:01.700 --> 01:54:07.060]  as evidence of a consistent pattern aimed ultimately at confronting Iran.
[01:54:07.700 --> 01:54:10.500]  He said it has involved wars across the Middle East.
[01:54:10.500 --> 01:54:17.060]  This left rivers of blood from Libya to Sudan, Somalia, and the genocide in Gaza.
[01:54:17.620 --> 01:54:22.020]  Netanyahu's goal since the mid-1990s has been the destruction of Iran.
[01:54:23.060 --> 01:54:26.420]  He says, Trump is an utter disgrace to our nation.
[01:54:27.380 --> 01:54:28.500]  An utter disgrace.
[01:54:29.140 --> 01:54:32.580]  He lied to us, every word about America first,
[01:54:33.140 --> 01:54:35.860]  and he did exactly the opposite of what he said.
[01:54:36.740 --> 01:54:41.460]  Well, again, he was a lying traitor, all of 2020.
[01:54:42.660 --> 01:54:44.820]  Just one lie after the other.
[01:54:45.700 --> 01:54:47.060]  He masterminded that.
[01:54:47.060 --> 01:54:48.100]  He funded that.
[01:54:49.300 --> 01:54:50.900]  And yet people made excuses for him.
[01:54:50.900 --> 01:54:52.100]  He's playing 40 chess.
[01:54:52.100 --> 01:54:55.940]  No, he's saving us from the really bad vaccine from Bill Gates.
[01:54:57.220 --> 01:54:59.460]  This one is not bad at all.
[01:54:59.460 --> 01:55:01.380]  It's just going to have like some aluminum mercury.
[01:55:01.380 --> 01:55:02.100]  You can inject that.
[01:55:02.100 --> 01:55:03.620]  Can you do that for Trump, right?
[01:55:04.260 --> 01:55:05.140]  It's sugar water.
[01:55:06.420 --> 01:55:07.140]  Sugar water.
[01:55:07.860 --> 01:55:09.620]  The US doesn't negotiate.
[01:55:09.620 --> 01:55:10.340]  It cheats.
[01:55:11.700 --> 01:55:15.700]  Now they kill you because if you negotiate, it means that you're weak and stupid.
[01:55:16.660 --> 01:55:19.940]  This is the way criminals like Trump always think.
[01:55:19.940 --> 01:55:22.020]  And he is a mafia figure.
[01:55:23.380 --> 01:55:30.500]  That if they can come up behind you and blindside you, right?
[01:55:30.500 --> 01:55:34.980]  Get you a sucker shot because you were dumb enough to trust them.
[01:55:34.980 --> 01:55:36.660]  Oh, they should have known better than to trust me.
[01:55:37.220 --> 01:55:38.340]  They had it coming, right?
[01:55:39.060 --> 01:55:41.220]  That's the way petty criminals think.
[01:55:42.500 --> 01:55:46.980]  And that's the way Trump thinks because that's what he is.
[01:55:48.020 --> 01:55:51.060]  And that's what people like Stephen Miller and his ilk think as well.
[01:55:51.940 --> 01:55:55.540]  Well, if you're weak, then you don't deserve that territory.
[01:55:55.540 --> 01:55:56.740]  We can take it from you.
[01:55:56.740 --> 01:55:58.580]  And he's actually said that out loud.
[01:55:59.540 --> 01:56:01.380]  You can't fight to hold on to your territory.
[01:56:01.380 --> 01:56:02.100]  You don't deserve it.
[01:56:02.100 --> 01:56:03.620]  You deserve to have it taken from you.
[01:56:04.980 --> 01:56:10.260]  This is like, you know, the rules of the asphalt jungle in New York or whatever.
[01:56:10.260 --> 01:56:13.060]  And this is the approach as well of Israel.
[01:56:14.020 --> 01:56:16.420]  Sacks connected the country's infrastructure challenges
[01:56:16.420 --> 01:56:19.700]  to the enormous costs of overseas military engagements.
[01:56:20.340 --> 01:56:23.220]  He said, why do our roads not work?
[01:56:24.020 --> 01:56:27.300]  Why are our bridges falling down in the United States?
[01:56:27.860 --> 01:56:32.660]  It's because we spend trillions of dollars in war every year.
[01:56:33.460 --> 01:56:38.900]  China just completed its 50,000th kilometer of fast rail
[01:56:38.900 --> 01:56:40.820]  because China doesn't go to war.
[01:56:41.940 --> 01:56:44.900]  We're in the hands of gangsters, he said.
[01:56:45.940 --> 01:56:47.060]  That's exactly right.
[01:56:47.060 --> 01:56:50.020]  Gangsters, and I would say terrorists,
[01:56:50.820 --> 01:56:53.380]  were not in the hands of a constitutional system.
[01:56:53.380 --> 01:56:58.660]  You know, I saw an interesting article in Daily Mail
[01:56:58.660 --> 01:57:03.700]  and they were talking about how Dave Smith went on a program with Piers Morgan.
[01:57:03.700 --> 01:57:05.380]  And I think, you know, looking at the picture,
[01:57:05.380 --> 01:57:12.340]  they had like six or eight people that were arguing and debating the war on different sides.
[01:57:13.300 --> 01:57:17.540]  And Dave Smith was talking about how criminal this is
[01:57:18.740 --> 01:57:20.820]  and that we didn't have a reason to go to war.
[01:57:20.820 --> 01:57:24.500]  And one of the people that was there on this Piers Morgan panel
[01:57:24.500 --> 01:57:26.900]  was a guy who does a podcast with Ted Cruz and goes,
[01:57:26.900 --> 01:57:30.980]  so you think it's not worth it to take out a major terrorist country?
[01:57:32.260 --> 01:57:33.860]  And he says, oh, come on.
[01:57:33.860 --> 01:57:36.660]  He said, and we got to stop the nuclear weapons that are there.
[01:57:36.660 --> 01:57:38.500]  He goes, stop trying to sell that.
[01:57:38.500 --> 01:57:39.780]  We've heard that so many times.
[01:57:39.780 --> 01:57:42.580]  Nobody buys that nuclear stuff anymore.
[01:57:42.580 --> 01:57:44.900]  BB has cried wolf for so many times.
[01:57:44.900 --> 01:57:48.180]  It just doesn't, you know, you can come up with something better, can't you?
[01:57:48.180 --> 01:57:49.780]  Well, they're a terrorist state.
[01:57:50.420 --> 01:57:54.100]  And he said, let me tell you who the worst terrorist state in the Middle East is.
[01:57:54.100 --> 01:57:54.900]  It's Israel.
[01:57:55.700 --> 01:57:59.060]  And the worst terrorist state in the world, said Dave Smith,
[01:57:59.860 --> 01:58:01.060]  is the United States government.
[01:58:01.060 --> 01:58:02.740]  And I saw that and I told Karen, I said,
[01:58:03.700 --> 01:58:06.820]  all the two of us are the only ones to say that out loud.
[01:58:07.380 --> 01:58:10.660]  He's got a bigger platform there on Piers Morgan's show to say,
[01:58:10.660 --> 01:58:12.260]  good for him for saying it.
[01:58:12.260 --> 01:58:13.700]  He's absolutely right.
[01:58:14.420 --> 01:58:15.220]  Absolutely right.
[01:58:15.940 --> 01:58:20.340]  When you look at the rules and how they define terrorism,
[01:58:21.540 --> 01:58:23.380]  that's exactly what we're talking about.
[01:58:24.020 --> 01:58:25.860]  Threatening people, creating fear.
[01:58:26.500 --> 01:58:30.020]  You think they're not fear mongering as well when they're war mongering?
[01:58:30.020 --> 01:58:33.940]  Creating fear about terrorism threats from Iran,
[01:58:33.940 --> 01:58:36.660]  fear about nuclear threats from Iran.
[01:58:36.660 --> 01:58:39.540]  And so we got to be more like them.
[01:58:40.980 --> 01:58:42.100]  They might attack us first,
[01:58:42.100 --> 01:58:44.740]  so let's attack them before they attack us, that type of thing.
[01:58:45.460 --> 01:58:48.260]  And these people are ruthless, so let's be ruthless with them.
[01:58:48.980 --> 01:58:50.980]  Let's kill their civilian population.
[01:58:50.980 --> 01:58:54.020]  Let's rain death and destruction down on them.
[01:58:54.020 --> 01:58:56.340]  Because I know that if they had the opportunity,
[01:58:56.340 --> 01:58:57.860]  they'd do the same thing to us.
[01:58:57.860 --> 01:59:00.100]  Well, they will now, right?
[01:59:00.100 --> 01:59:01.380]  That's the way these things are.
[01:59:01.940 --> 01:59:05.860]  You ramp it up, get the Hatfields and the McCoys.
[01:59:05.860 --> 01:59:09.140]  They just keep stoking both sides of this.
[01:59:09.860 --> 01:59:13.140]  But it really is, when you're going to use violence,
[01:59:13.140 --> 01:59:14.980]  the threat of violence and fear
[01:59:16.260 --> 01:59:18.340]  to achieve your social, political goals,
[01:59:18.340 --> 01:59:19.940]  your geopolitical goals as well,
[01:59:20.580 --> 01:59:22.100]  folks, that is terrorism.
[01:59:23.220 --> 01:59:25.460]  Trying to use violence, actually using violence,
[01:59:25.460 --> 01:59:28.820]  using the threat of violence to terrorize people, to create fear.
[01:59:29.780 --> 01:59:31.300]  That is our foreign policy.
[01:59:31.300 --> 01:59:34.500]  That has been the foreign policy of the United States for a long time.
[01:59:34.500 --> 01:59:36.740]  We are a terrorist state.
[01:59:38.340 --> 01:59:41.140]  And the guy said, well, then take down that American flag behind you.
[01:59:41.940 --> 01:59:43.380]  He said, well, I love my country.
[01:59:43.380 --> 01:59:44.340]  I hate my government.
[01:59:45.780 --> 01:59:47.060]  That's where I am right now.
[01:59:47.860 --> 01:59:49.700]  I despise this government,
[01:59:49.700 --> 01:59:52.900]  as much as I despise people like Pete Hegseth,
[01:59:52.900 --> 01:59:54.820]  who revel in murder.
[01:59:56.260 --> 01:59:57.300]  Thank you for joining us.
[02:00:08.820 --> 02:00:09.620]  The common man.
[02:00:12.900 --> 02:00:15.940]  They created common core to dumb down our children.
[02:00:15.940 --> 02:00:19.140]  They created common past to track and control us.
[02:00:19.140 --> 02:00:23.140]  Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
[02:00:24.020 --> 02:00:25.540]  and the communist future.
[02:00:26.980 --> 02:00:30.740]  They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
[02:00:31.700 --> 02:00:36.180]  But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:00:38.340 --> 02:00:39.780]  That is what we have in common.
[02:00:40.340 --> 02:00:42.020]  That is what they want to take away.
[02:00:42.740 --> 02:00:47.140]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
[02:00:47.860 --> 02:00:52.420]  They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
[02:00:53.380 --> 02:00:57.140]  It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
